The CHAPI service should self-install when you run the .MSI installer for CHAPI. If you need to manually install it you can do so via a command line interface.

-This creates the SERVICE only, not the folder. This is good to note when the service needs to be installed to a new drive. Prior to running this, copy the CHAPI folder to the new location. Then run the command as directed below.

The Chapi.Register.exe supports multiple command line options, a list of available options is listed below. In most cases when installing, you'll only need to specify a few of these options. The example below just covers the basics of installing.

1. For this scenario we'll assume the following settings
   • Chapi Username: chapi
   • Chapi Password: Ch@piUser1
   • Computer Name where Chapi is Installed: MyServer

1. To register the service, Open a command prompt with Administrative level permissions.

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyrious\Control\CHAPI\

1. Type the following command
   • code

chapi.register.exe -i -p=[port #] –username=[computer or domain name\username] –password=[username password]

code

• Example:
• code

chapi.register.exe -i -p=12556 –username=MyServer\chapi –password=Ch@piUser1

code

1. The CHAPI service will begin the service registration process, once complete you can go to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services to verify Chapi_ServiceHost_12556 was created as a service.
