Install the Service
---
At first you will require the Service Binary from the [Icinga Windows Service GitHub Repository](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-powershell-service) and copy the binary locally to your system. A recommended path would be your Program Files / Program Files (x86) directory.
Any other custom location is fully supported, has to be however accessible from the Windows Service Environment.
Once you have found a location, the PowerShell Module will assist you with setting up the service itself. In this documentation we will assume the path you have chosen to copy the binary to is
```powershell
C:\Program Files\Icinga-Framework-Service
```
and the binary name is
```powershell
icinga-service.exe
```
Now lets install the service with the help of the PowerShell Module:
```powershell
Install-IcingaFrameworkService -Path 'C:\Program Files\Icinga-Framework-Service\icinga-service.exe'
```
You can validate if the service has been installed properly by using the Get Service Cmdlet:
Each enabled background daemon component is afterwards being started and executed.
A detailed documentation on how to download and install the service and be found directly on the services [installation guide](https://icinga.com/docs/windows/latest/service/doc/02-Installation/).
