Loosely based upon the instructions found [here](http://asysadmin.tumblr.com/post/32941224574/running-nginx-on-windows-as-a-service). I crafted the following and it provided me with a fully working verdaccio service installation:
1. Create a directory for verdaccio
* mkdir `c:\verdaccio`
* cd `c:\verdaccio`
2. Install verdaccio locally (I ran into npm issues with global installs)
* npm install verdaccio
3. Create your `config.yaml` file in this location `(c:\verdaccio\config.yaml)`
4. Windows Service Setup
## Using NSSM
ALTERNATIVE METHOD: (WinSW package was missing when I tried to download it)
* Download [NSSM](https://www.nssm.cc/download/) and extract
* Add the path that contains nssm.exe to the PATH
* Open an administrative command
* Run nssm install verdaccio At a minimum you must fill in the Application tab Path,
Startup directory and Arguments fields. Assuming an install with node in the system path and a
location of c:\verdaccio the below values will work:
with the following configuration `xml verdaccio verdaccio verdaccio node c:\verdaccio\node_modules\verdaccio\src\lib\cli.js -c c:\verdaccio\config.yaml roll c:\verdaccio\ `.
