BaseX server can be configured to run as an always-on service in Windows (or daemon in Linux) using [http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/ YAJSW].

== Some basics of YAJSW ==

YAJSW comes with some helpful convenience scripts in the 'bat' and 'bin' folders. This set of instructions does not use these convenience scripts.

== Gather the files ==

* Download the latest version of [https://sourceforge.net/projects/yajsw/ YAJSW].

* Download the latest version of [http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Java].

== Install BaseX as a Windows Service ==

The instructions on this page are known to work using Windows Server 2012R2, BaseX 8.4.2, YAJSW 12.05 beta, Java 1.8.0_77 64-bit from Oracle.

=== Install Java ===

Install Java using the Java installer for your operating system. Use a 64-bit version if you can.

# Extract YAJSW to <code>C:\Programs\yajsw\yajsw-beta-12.05</code>
