# Installation

The installation of the WireBootstrap Query Service can be downloaded from [here](https://www.wirebootstrap.com/products/query-service.html).  The service is installed as a Windows service on the target machine.

## Credentials

The *Service Id* and *Secret Key* are API credentials that need to be supplied when making calls to a given query service instance.  They are also needed to log into the [WireBootstrap Query Service Administration](/query-service/administration.md) application.

## Service Port

![Port Listener](/files/-MTsKJLd6gR1x3yLB1JS)

The TCP port on which the query service will listen for requests from clients can be changed as part of the installation.  By default, the service listens on port `1895`.

{% hint style="info" %}
When upgrading to a new version, the *Service Id*, *Secret Key*, and *Port* are not used.  The existing values are preserved and continue to be valid.
{% endhint %}

## Admin

Once the installation has completed, the local browser will be opened to the [WireBootstrap Query Service Administration](/query-service/administration.md) application where service configurations including connections to data can be created and managed.  Use the *Service Id* and *Secret Key* specified during the installation to login.
