+# Install Beszel Agent As Service Under Windows
+
+The Windows cmd file `[install-beszel-service.cmd](https://gitea.elpatron.me/elpatron/Install-Beszel-Agent/src/branch/main/install-beszel-service.cmd)` installs the Beszel agent as a service under Microsoft Windows.
+
+## Usage
+
+Open a `cmd.exe` shell with administrative rights.
+
+````
+git clone https://gitea.elpatron.me/elpatron/Install-Beszel-Agent
+cd Install-Beszel-Agent
+install-beszel-service.cmd <your Beszel ssh key>
+````
+
+## Explanation
+
+The script copies `agent.exe` into the directory `%ProgramFiles%\BeszelAgent` and takes usage of NSSM to install the service. NSSM is beeing installed by `winget`.
+
+The provided `agent.exe` was compiled on January, 18th 2025 by me and should be exchanged by a self compiled or official executable.
