Installation of Redis under Windows 10 (based on WSL2 installation)
1. Redis officially does not have native installation packages under Windows. as shown in Figure 1
Figure 1
2. Reference:The project is no longer actively maintained. If you are looking for a Windows version of Redis, you may need to check Memurai. Please note that Microsoft does not officially recognize the product in any way. Decided to use memurai. as shown in Figure 2
Figure 2
3. After installing memurai-developer-v4.1.2.msi, restart the computer to make the environment variable take effect.
4. In the end, it was found that there was no effect, and c:\program files\memurai did not exist. Execute: C:\>msiExec /quiet/i memurai.msi , still no effect. Finally decided to give up.
PS C:\> msiexec /quiet /i memurai.msi PS C:\>
5. Check port 6379 is occupied again.
PS C:\> netstat -ano | findstr :6379 TCP 192.168.89.29:63792 3.231.104.211:443 Established 4920
6. Reference:Install or enable WSL2 . as shown in Figure 3
Figure 3
ps c:\> wsl --install Installing: Virtual Machine Platform The virtual machine platform is installed. Installing: Windows subsystem for Linux Windows subsystem for Linux is installed. Installing: Windows subsystem for Linux Windows subsystem for Linux is installed. Installing: Ubuntu Ubuntu is installed. The requested operation was successful. Changes will not take effect until the system is restarted. PS C:\>
7. Install redis, enter ubuntu, and install the latest stable version of redis, packages.redis.io from the official apt repository. Add the repository to the apt index, update it, and install it. as shown in Figure 4

8. Edit the configuration file of redis /etc/redis/redis.conf. To the Bind option (Bind), usually the default is binding to 127.0.0.1, and modify it to bind to all interfaces 0.0.0.0. as shown in Figure 5
Figure 5
9. Save and close the file. Then restart the redis service for changes to take effect:
sudo service redis-server restart
10. Run ip addr in the wsl terminal to find the ip address of wsl
