Create a New Server Instance as a Windows Service

To create a new on-premise MATLAB^® Production Server™ instance and register it as a Windows^® service, use the mps-new command with the --service option.

mps-new /tmp/server_1 --service

You can change the name, description, and user for the Windows service from the defaults using optional flags to the mps-new command.
