+Install as Windows Service
+==========================
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+Before you start, ensure that the following are installed on the Windows server:
+
+* mongodb
+* nodejs
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Build a production version of Command Post
+
+```
+npm install
+grunt production
+rm -r node_modules
+npm install --production
+```
+
+Install CommandPost as service
+
+```
+npm install -g node-windows
+node scripts\install-windows-service.js
+```
+
+This will setup a windows service called `CommandPost` which will listen on
+port 80 in development mode. To change port or mode, edit the `install-windows-service.js`
