1. Redis does not officially provide a native installation package for Windows. See Figure 1.
2. Reference: This project is no longer actively maintained. If you are looking for a Windows version of Redis, you may want to check out Memurai. Please note that Microsoft does not officially endorse this product in any way. I decided to use Memurai. See Figure 2.
3. After installing Memurai-Developer-v4.1.2.msi, restart the computer for the environment variables to take effect.
4. Ultimately, it had no effect, and C:\Program Files\Memurai did not exist. After executing: C:\>msiexec /quiet /i Memurai.msi, there was still no effect. I finally decided to give up.

8. Edit the Redis configuration file /etc/redis/redis.conf. Go to the bind option, which is usually bound to 127.0.0.1 by default, and change it to bind to all interfaces 0.0.0.0. See Figure 5.
9. Save and close the file. Then restart the Redis service for the changes to take effect:
Bash
sudo service redis-server restart
10. Run ip addr in the WSL terminal to find the WSL IP address.

11. Set an authentication password for the default user; otherwise, you may not be able to access Redis from the external Windows host. Then restart the service. See Figure 6.
