# Prerequisites
The following changes are made in C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini:
```
RUN_USER = COMPUTERNAME$
```
Sets Gitea to run as the local system user.
COMPUTERNAME is whatever the response is from `echo %COMPUTERNAME%` on the command line. If the response is `USER-PC` then `RUN_USER = USER-PC$`
## Use absolute paths
If you use sqlite3, change the `PATH` to include the full path:
```
[database]
PATH = c:/gitea/data/gitea.db
```
# Register as a Windows Service
To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator,
then run the following command:
```
sc create gitea start= auto binPath= ""C:\gitea\gitea.exe" web --config "C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini""
```
Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.
Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
"Run". If everything is OK Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
that was configured).
## Unregister as a service
To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
```
sc delete gitea
```
