## Usage on Windows
Make sure you meet all [requirements](../README.md#requirements).
Download the `lazymc-*-windows.exe` Windows executable for your system from the
[latest release][latest-release] page.
Place the binary in your Minecraft server directory, and rename it to
`lazymc.exe`.
Open a terminal, go to the server directory, and make sure you can execute it:
```bash
.\lazymc --help
```
When lazymc is ready, set up the [configuration](../res/lazymc.toml) and start it
up:
```bash
# In your Minecraft server directory:
# Generate lazymc configuration
.\lazymc config generate
# Edit configuration
# Set the correct server address, directory and start command
notepad lazymc.toml
# Start lazymc
.\lazymc start
```
Please see [extras](./extras.md) for recommendations and additional things
to set up (e.g. how to fix incorrect client IPs and IP banning on your server).
After you've read through the [extras](./extras.md), everything should now
be ready to go! Connect with your Minecraft client to wake your server up!
_Note: if you put `lazymc` in `PATH`, or if you
[install](../README.md#compile-from-source) it through Cargo, you can invoke
`lazymc` everywhere directly without the `.\` prefix._
