# Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following changes are made in C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
RUN_USER = COMPUTERNAME$
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sets Gitea to run as the local system user.
|
||
|
|
||
|
COMPUTERNAME is whatever the response is from `echo %COMPUTERNAME%` on the command line. If the response is `USER-PC` then `RUN_USER = USER-PC$`
|

|
## Use absolute paths

If you use SQLite3, change the `PATH` to include the full path:

|
||

sc.exe create gitea start= auto binPath= "\"C:\gitea\gitea.exe\" web --config \"C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini\""

Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.

Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
|
||

|
"Run". If everything is OK, Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
|
||

|
that was configured).

## Adding startup dependencies
|

|

|
To add a startup dependency to the Gitea Windows service (eg Mysql, Mariadb), as an Administrator, then run the following command:
|
||
2 years ago
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sc.exe config gitea depend= mariadb
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will ensure that when the Windows machine restarts, the automatic starting of Gitea is postponed until the database is ready and thus mitigate failed startups.
