Can I run Redis natively on Windows?
One click Redis install as a Windows service:
https://github.com/rgl/redis/downloads
Download and run the top .exe (ignore the "download as zip" button)
Edit: For the latest versions of Redis for Windows look at MSOpenTech/redis
. See Todd Menier's answer for more information.
I found one more simple way to install Redis
under Windows
Download the latest Redis
.msi
file from
https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/releases
after installation. The redis service is installed, we can operate it from Service manager
If you want to install MSOpenTech's latest port of Redis, on a Windows server, watched over by a Windows Service, without having to build anything yourself, read on.
MSOpenTech's seems to be the only port that is actively trying to keep up with the latest and greatest Redis. They claim it is production-ready, but they haven't exactly packaged it up neatly for installation on a server, especially if you want to run their RedisWatcher service to keep an eye on it, which is recommended. (I tried building RedisWatcher myself per their instructions, but the required Wix Toolset managed to mess up my system pretty good. I won't go into it.) Fortunately they've provided all the binaries you need, just not all in one place. From the README:
So far the RedisWatcher is not carried over to 2.6. However this should not be affected by the Redis version, and the code in the 2.4 branch should work with the Redis 2.6 binaries.
So you'll need to download binaries from 2 branches in order to get all the necessary bits. Without further ado, here are the steps:
The most updated (only few minor releases behind) version of Redis can be found here. This repository provides you with 3.2.100 version (current is 3.2) whereas the most upvoted answer gives you only 2.4.6 version and the last update to the repo was 2 years ago.
The installation is straightforward: just copy everything from the archive to any folder and run redis-server.exe to run the server and redis-cli.exe to connect to this server through the shell.
To install Redis for Windows
You can choose either from these sources
Personally I prepared the first option
Extract the zip to prepared directory
run redis-server.exe
redis-cli.exe
You can start using Redis now please refer for commands
Go to the releases and you can get a ZIP file containing the relevant files as well as a Word document called RedisService.docx
with the following instructions:
Installing the Service
--service-install
This must be the first argument on the redis-server command line. Arguments after this are passed in the order they occur to Redis when the service is launched. The service will be configured as Autostart and will be launched as "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService". Upon successful installation a success message will be displayed and Redis will exit. This command does not start the service.
For instance:
redis-server --service-install redis.windows.conf --loglevel verbose
And then later, in the same document, another example:
The following would install and start three separate instances of Redis as a service:
redis-server --service-install -–service-name redisService1 –port 10001
redis-server --service-start --service-name redisService1
redis-server --service-install --service-name redisService2 –port 10002
redis-server --service-start --service-name redisService2
redis-server --service-install --service-name redisService3 –port 10003
redis-server --service-start --service-name redisService3
From what I can gather, this appears to be the new way forward rather than messing with a separate Windows service to monitor and restart the CLI.
Maybe its a little Late but, I was able to run Redis on Windows 10 Aniversary Update.
Windows 10 Aniversary Update Comes with Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, simply, it comes with bash.
Below are the two tutorial that I followed:
1- How to Install and Use the Linux Bash Shell on Windows 10
2- How To Install and Use Redis
Below is the image of running Redis.
Enjoy :)
Download redis from Download Redis for windows
net start redis
Thats it.
MS Open Tech recently made a version of Redis available for download on Github. They say that it isn't production ready yet, but keep an eye on it.
Github repo
Download releases as MSIs
I don't run redis on windows. There's too much hassle involved in keeping up with the ports, and they lag behind redis-stable by a version or two all the time.
Instead I run redis on a Vagrant virtual machine that runs redis for me. I've bundled up the whole thing into a simple github repo so everyone can get in on the fun without too much hassle. The whole thing is an automated build so there's no mess. I blogged about the details here.
see this installation video tutorial:

If you're happy with a bit of Powershell, you can also get very up-to-date Windows binaries using Powershell and chocolatey.
First, add chocolatey to Powershell following the instructions here (one simple command line as admin): https://chocolatey.org/
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Then, use Powershell to get the redis package from chocolatey: http://chocolatey.org/packages/redis-64
choco install redis-64
Redis will be installed in something like C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\redis-64.2.8.9
Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\windows\system32> choco install redis-64 Chocolatey (v0.9.8.27) is installing 'redis-64' and dependencies. By installing you accept the license for 'redis-64' an d each dependency you are installing.
redis-64 v2.8.9 Added C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\redis-benchmark.exe shim pointed to '..\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\redis-benchmark.exe'. Added C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\redis-check-aof.exe shim pointed to '..\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\redis-check-aof.exe'. Added C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\redis-check-dump.exe shim pointed to '..\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\redis-check-dump.exe'. Added C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\redis-cli.exe shim pointed to '..\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\redis-cli.exe'. Added C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\redis-server.exe shim pointed to '..\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\redis-server.exe'. Finished installing 'redis-64' and dependencies - if errors not shown in console, none detected. Check log for errors if unsure
Then run the server with
redis-server
Or the CLI with
redis-cli
Follow the instructions in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\redis-64.2.8.9\RedisService.docx to install the redis service
I think these is the two most simple ways to run Redis on Windows
As described here:
- Download the redis64-latest.zip native 64bit Windows port of redis
wget https://raw.github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows/master/downloads/redis64-latest.zip
Extract redis64-latest.zip in any folder, e.g. in c:\redis
Run the redis-server.exe using the local configuration
cd c:\redis
redis-server.exe redis.conf
- Run redis-cli.exe to connect to your redis instance
cd c:\redis
redis-cli.exe
You can use Redis on Windows with Vagrant, as described here:
Install Vagrant on Windows
Download the vagrant-redis.zip vagrant configuration
wget https://raw.github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows/master/downloads/vagrant-redis.zip
Extract vagrant-redis.zip in any folder, e.g. in c:\vagrant-redis
Launch the Virtual Box VM with vagrant up:
cd c:\vagrant-redis
vagrant up
This will launch a new Ubuntu VM instance inside Virtual Box that will automatically install and start the latest stable version of redis.
The Redis download page now has links to some unofficial Windows ports. The dmajkic one seems to be the most popular/complete.
More detailed answer: How to run Redis as a service under Windows
One of the most easy way to run Redis on windows host is to use Docker Redis container. Just fire up Hyper-V, Download Docker and run Redis
you can install Redis by following this article: https://github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows but for going straight, you can download it by this link: https://github.com/ServiceStack/redis-windows/raw/master/downloads/redis-latest.zip after downloading, go to the directory which you like to put your files,then extract the zip file, then open a command prompt and go to the directory where you extracted your file, then type "redis-server" and hit enter(for opening redis-cli open command and route to redis directory, but instead of "redis-server" execute "redis-cli").
I've provided installation instructions and downloads for the 2 most popular ways of running Redis on windows at: https://github.com/mythz/redis-windows that shows how to:
You can try out baboonstack, which includes redis and also a node.js and mongoDB version manager. And it's cross platform.
The redis version on windows was published by microsoft open tech team But recently this project has been archived to https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis read-only and will not update. Has stopped development
Reading about some users running Redis in a VM, it brought to my mind the recommendations from Redis team :
Redis runs slower on a VM. Virtualization toll is quite high because for many common operations. (...) Prefer to run Redis on a physical box, especially if you favor deterministic latencies. On a state-of-the-art hypervisor (VMWare), result of redis-benchmark on a VM through the physical network is almost divided by 2 compared to the physical machine, with some significant CPU time spent in system and interruptions.
Here are my steps to install Redis 4.0.8 on Windows 10 Pro (1709) via Windows Subsystem for Linux:
in home/user/
01 wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-4.0.8.tar.gz
02 tar xzf redis-4.0.8.tar.gz
03 cd redis-4.0.8/
04 sudo apt-get install make
05 sudo apt-get update
06 sudo apt-get install gcc
07 cd deps
08 make hiredis jemalloc linenoise lua geohash-int
09 cd ..
10 make
You can skip several steps if you have an up-to-date environment.
Since MSOpenTech's port of Redis is no longer maintained - anyone interested in native port of Redis for Windows can now get the "alpha" version of Redis 4.0.2 for Windows from here: https://github.com/tporadowski/redis/releases. This fork is a merge of latest 3.2.100 version from MSOpenTech and 4.0.2 from antirez/redis with a couple of bugfixes. Currently that port has no module support and dependencies are still to be updated to what Redis uses.
Latest Redis x86 builds (32-bit) can be found here: http://bitsandpieces.it/redis-x86-32bit-builds-for-windows
Says that he will maintain both 2.8.* and 3.0.* branches.

If you use windows, use MSOpenTech version from:
https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis
You also might find this post useful to get started with basic commands.
The Redis project does not officially support Windows. However, the Microsoft Open Tech group develops and maintains this Windows port targeting Win64.

VARY EASY:(NO ANY CAMMAN OR NOT GOING TO ANY LINK,ONLY FOLLOW THIS STEP ,FOR ALL VERSION)
FIRST INSTALL REDIS
-->>AFTER OPEN TASKBAR
-->>OPEN SERVICE(taskbar service)
-->>CHOOSE REDIS
-->>RIGTH CLICK ON REDIS SERVICE AND OPEN SERVICE(VIEW IMAGES)
-->>CLICK ON START OR RESTART.(ALSO SET AUTOSTART)
It seems this is the easiest way to get the latest version of Redis - use NuGet Manager:
1) Open NuGet setup page and download Command-Line Utility (The latest version of the nuget.exe command-line tool is always available from https://nuget.org/nuget.exe)
2) Copy this file to somewhere (for example, C:\Downloads
)
3) Start a command prompt as an Administrator and execute follow commands:
cd C:\Downloads
nuget.exe install redis-64
4) In the Downloads
folder will be the latest version of Redis (C:\Downloads\Redis-64.2.8.19
in my case)
5) Run redis-server.exe
and start working
P.S. Note: redis from Download Redis for windows contains a very old version of Redis: 2.4.6
