Axpert Web - Windows Redis Installation & Configuration

Redis can be installed on Windows by downloading the MSI installer from GitHub and enabling the option to add Redis to the system path during installation. After installation, the Redis configuration file can be edited to configure settings like binding Redis to an IP address, setting a password, allocating memory, and enabling LRU key eviction. The Redis service then needs to be restarted for configuration changes to take effect. Common Redis commands like connecting via redis-cli and listing all keys can then be run from the command prompt.

order to uncomment one needs to remove the ‘#’

If you are using redis for personal or local usage keep the value as “bind 127.0.0.1”
If you want other instances to connect to your redis mention as “bind ip1 ip2” (multiple
ip’s separated with space)

3.2 requirepass - search the file for text ‘requirepass’


this attribute stores the password for connecting to redis, it is always safe to use a
password. To provide a password uncomment the line of code in the file given as ‘’#
requirepass password” and replace password with your own password.
3.3 maxmemory - search the file for text ‘maxmemory’
the size of memory to be utilized for redis has to be mentioned in bytes, it is better to
provide memory of 1g that means 1gb. Uncomment the line “maxmemory bytes” and
change to “maxmemory 1g”
3.4 maxmemory-policy and maxmemory-samples
To enable the LRU- least recently used keys eviction algorithm this key should be
changed to “maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru”
And the maxmemory-samples value should be 5 as shown below
NOTE: please note that the redis service needs to be restarted after configuration changes are
updated.
