     1  ### Install on Windows
     2  
     3  Create a folder somewhere in your system, ex.: `C:\Multi-Runner`.
     4  
     5  Download the binary for [x86][]  or [amd64][] and put it into the folder you
     6  created.
     7  
     8  Run an `Administrator` command prompt ([How to][prompt]). The simplest is to
     9  write `Command Prompt` in Windows search field, right click and select
    10  `Run as administrator`. You will be asked to confirm that you want to execute
    11  the elevated command prompt.
    12  
    13  Register the runner:
    14  
    15  ```bash
    16  cd C:\Multi-Runner
    17  gitlab-ci-multi-runner register
    18  
    19  Please enter the gitlab-ci coordinator URL (e.g. http://gitlab-ci.org:3000/ )
    20  https://ci.gitlab.com
    21  Please enter the gitlab-ci token for this runner
    22  xxx
    23  Please enter the gitlab-ci description for this runner
    24  my-runner
    25  INFO[0034] fcf5c619 Registering runner... succeeded
    26  Please enter the executor: shell, docker, docker-ssh, ssh?
    27  docker
    28  Please enter the Docker image (eg. ruby:2.1):
    29  ruby:2.1
    30  INFO[0037] Runner registered successfully. Feel free to start it, but if it's
    31  running already the config should be automatically reloaded!
    32  ```
    33  
    34  Install runner as a service and start it. You have to enter a valid password
    35  for the current user account, because it's required to start the service by Windows:
    36  
    37  ```bash
    38  gitlab-ci-multi-runner install --user ENTER-YOUR-USERNAME --password ENTER-YOUR-PASSWORD
    39  gitlab-ci-multi-runner start
    40  ```
    41  
    42  > **Notice:** If you don't have a Windows Password, Runner's service won't start. To
    43  > fix this please read [How to Configure the Service to Start Up with the Built-in System Account](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/327545#bookmark-6)
    44  > on Microsoft's support website.
    45  
    46  Voila! Runner is installed and will be run after system reboot.
    47  
    48  Logs are stored in Windows Event Log.
    49  
    50  #### Update
    51  
    52  Stop service (you need elevated command prompt as before):
    53  
    54  ```bash
    55  cd C:\Multi-Runner
    56  gitlab-ci-multi-runner stop
    57  ```
    58  
    59  Download the binary for [x86][] or [amd64][] and replace runner's executable.
    60  
    61  Start service:
    62  
    63  ```bash
    64  gitlab-ci-multi-runner start
    65  ```
    66  
    67  Make sure that you read the [FAQ](../faq/README.md) section which describes
    68  some of the most common problems with GitLab Runner.
