-Install and run Verdaccio on windows as a service
+[Verdaccio](https://verdaccio.org/) is very useful server that provides "A lightweight private npm proxy registry".
+
+This package allows the installation and running of Verdaccio as a Windows Service.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install nodejs for windows.
+2. Download the release zip file and uzip to an install location.
+3. Change to the install location and run `npm install --production`.
+4. Create a [verdaccio configuration file](https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/configuration) to configure your verdaccio installation.
+5. Use the service [install](#install) command with the -c flag to point to your config file.  
+`node service.js install -c path\to\verdaccio-config.yaml`
+6. Use the service [start](#start) command to start your service.
+
+### Installation Notes
+
+Windows firewall may need to be configured to allow the node process act as a server.
+
+#### Customizing the service name
+
+Use can the --name -n option to customize the windows service name. See the [install](#install) command for more service configuration options.
+
+#### Running verdaccio from the command line
+
+Use the runner script with the `-c` option:  
+`node runner.js -c path\to\verdaccio-config.yaml`  
+This is useful to see the verdaccio's output for any errors.
+
+#### Default Logs
+
+When the service is created the install location will have a `daemon` sub directory. By default the service logs verdaccio standard output and error to this folder. This location can be changed using the service.js [install](#install)'s `--logs` option.  
+**NOTE** By default verdaccio logs all http requests, so the log files can get very large. To address this use the [verdaccio configuration file](https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/configuration) to setup [logging](https://verdaccio.org/docs/en/logger).
