Installing APM Server on Windowsedit

  1. Download the APM Server Windows zip file from the downloads page.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file into C:\Program Files.
  3. Rename the apm-server-<version>-windows directory to APM-Server.
  4. Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator). If you are running Windows XP, you may need to download and install PowerShell.

  5. From the PowerShell prompt, run the following commands to install APM Server as a Windows service:

    PS > cd 'C:\Program Files\APM-Server'
PS C:\Program Files\APM-Server> .\install-service-apm-server.ps1

If script execution is disabled on your system, you need to set the execution policy for the current session to allow the script to run. For example: PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-apm-server.ps1.
