Steps to install on Windows
---

## MSI Install
[Download](https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/releases/) and install the latest Navidrome MSI for the correct version of Windows (most likely AMD64). The
installer will prompt for basic configuration options (port, directories etc). These can be left as default or
customised to your setup. The service will be installed and started automatically, once the installer has completed
you can go to [http://127.0.0.1:4533] (or whichever port you chose) in a browser and setup the first user.
The `navidrome.ini` configuration file will be located in the installation folder (default: `C:\Program Files\Navidrome`).

Further modification can be made by changing the `navidrome.ini` file after installation and restarting the service.

## Manual Installation

Since Navidrome needs to be run from the command line, it is suggested to use a service wrapper to make it into a service as it does not make sense to have a terminal window open whenever you want to use Navidrome.
The examples below are for [Shawl](https://github.com/mtkennerly/shawl), [NSSM](http://nssm.cc/) and [WinSW](https://github.com/winsw/winsw).
