How to use NSSM

Question

This is probably glaringly obvious, but how do I "install" NSSM? according to the docs, I don't need to. If I wanted to use the GUI, I know that works (I've tested that) but when using cmd prompt or a batch file, it can't find it.

I know that the docs say "...preferably somewhere in your PATH", but I'm not sure where that would be. (neither of the "program files" folders work.)

Answer 1

Place the nssm.exe file in a folder, which is already on your PATH variable

Use echo %PATH% or set PATH on the CLI to find out the folders.

OR

Place into C:\Programs\nssm and then add this folder to your PATH env variable:

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Programs\nssm" /M

For usage, consult the manual: CLI and GUI
