Goal is to get Redis for Windows installed in your local develop environment. It is native windows solution, so it has best performance.

  1. Download msi file https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis/releases/tag/win-3.0.504
  2. Install Redis-x64-3.0.504.msi, all default, port 6379, even firewall exception ON (but not needed for loopback / localhost).
  3. Smoke-test
    c:\Program Files\Redis\redis-cli.exe
    ping
    set mykey test1
    get mykey
  4. Synthetic benchmark
    c:\Program Files\Redis\redis-benchmark.exe
