+  On Windows, to use the <<<start>>> and <<<stop>>> commands you must first install it as a service. This is done by running:
+
+----
+.\bin\archiva install

+
+  You can then use the <<<start>>> and <<<stop>>> commands as well as the traditional Windows service management console to manage the Archiva
