## 1. Installation

Download the latest setup.exe from [https://github.com/Krillsson/sys-API/releases/latest](https://github.com/Krillsson/sys-API/releases/latest) and run it

Files will be installed to *C:/Program Files/sysapi/*

## 2. Configuration

Use your favorite text editor to edit the user & password of the configuration.yml inside the config directory *C:/Program Files/sysapi/config/configuration.yml*

```yaml
user: 
  username: user # <--- CHANGE ME
  password: password  # <--- AND ME
```

If you need to change the default application ports *8080* and *8443*, you can do so in the *C:/Program Files/sysapi/config/application.properties* file

## 3. Testing that it runs normally

Now we can start sys-api using the exe file sysapi.exe. A console window will pop-up and eventually it will settle.

It will pause for a long time at:  
**“Initializing OpenHardwareMonitor.”**

This is normal.

When you see:

```bash
[...]: Tomcat started on ports 8443 (https), 8080 (http) with context path '/'
[...]: Started SysAPIApplicationKt in 6.352 seconds (process running for 7.234)
```

We know that the server is up

## 4. Install sys-API as a Windows service

After we’ve made sure that it works we can install sys-api as a service. This done using the different .bat files. The names are self-explanatory.

Double-click *install-service.bat* and wait until it finishes.

The bat files are just calling the *sys-API-servicew.exe* with different arguments. You can take a look at [winsw documentation](https://github.com/winsw/winsw) if you want to learn more.

If everything worked there will be a few log files in the installation directory. You can also operate the service using the Services program in Windows.
