Installing Redis on Windows 10

Guy Royse shows you how to install the latest version of Redis on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

For your copying and pasting convenience, here are the installation commands Guy uses in the video:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:redislabs/redis
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install redis-server

Once installed, you can start, stop, and restart the server:

$ sudo service redis-server start
$ sudo service redis-server stop
$ sudo service redis-server restart

NOTE: If you have trouble with the command to start the server, you might need to turn daemonization on in your redis.conf. To do that, open up /etc/redis/redis.conf and replace where it says “daemonize no” with “daemonize yes”.
