Don't want to start the terminal every time? Come and learn how to deploy Nacos services on Windows

Method 1: Directly Running

We can directly run Nacos's startup script to start the service.

Steps

1. Download and extract the Nacos package.
2. Navigate to the bin directory.
3. Execute the startup command:

   startup.cmd

Method 2: Using Windows Service

We can register Nacos as a Windows service to manage it automatically.

Steps

1. Download and extract the Nacos package.
2. Download nssm (Non-Sucking Service Manager), an open-source Windows service manager.
3. Use nssm to install the Nacos service:

   nssm install NacosServer "C:\path\to\nacos\bin\startup.cmd"

Method 3: Using PowerShell Script

We can use a PowerShell script to start Nacos and deploy it as a service.

Steps

1. Download and extract the Nacos package.
2. Create a PowerShell script start-nacos.ps1 with the following content:

   Start-Process -FilePath "C:\path\to\nacos\bin\startup.cmd"

3. Use sc.exe to create a service and set it to start automatically:

   sc.exe create NacosService binPath= "powershell.exe -File C:\path\to\start-nacos.ps1"
   sc.exe config NacosService start= auto
   sc.exe start NacosService

Method 4: Using Task Scheduler

We can use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule Nacos to start.

Steps

1. Download and extract the Nacos package.
2. Open Task Scheduler and create a new task.
3. In the Actions tab, add a new action to start startup.cmd and set the trigger conditions and execution time.
