# Consul Agent Services
Command: `consul services`
The `services` command has subcommands for interacting with Consul services
registered with the [local agent](/docs/agent/basics.html). These provide
useful commands such as `register` and `deregister` for easily registering
services in scripts, dev mode, etc.
To view all services in the catalog, instead of only agent-local services,
see the [`catalog services`](/docs/commands/catalog/services.html) command.
## Usage
Usage: `consul services <subcommand>`
For the exact documentation for your Consul version, run `consul services -h` to
view the complete list of subcommands.
```text
Usage: consul services <subcommand> [options] [args]
...
Subcommands:
deregister Deregister services with the local agent
register Register services with the local agent
```
For more information, examples, and usage about a subcommand, click on the name
of the subcommand in the sidebar.
## Basic Examples
To create a simple service:
```text
$ consul services register -name=web
```
To create a service from a configuration file:
```text
$ cat web.json
{
"Service": {
"Name": "web"
}
}
$ consul services register web.json
```
To deregister a service:
```sh
# Either style works:
$ consul services deregister web.json
$ consul services deregister -id web
```
