Need to install it on Window's Linux Subsystem

https://developer.redis.com/create/windows/

Run PowerShell as Admin

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

Open Windows Store: start ms-windows-store:

Install Ubuntu

In Ubuntu console:

First you will be prompted to set a username and password. I just used ubuntu and ubuntu

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:redislabs/redis
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install redis-server
sudo service redis-server restart
redis-cli

127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

Control + C to exit Redis CLI

sudo service redis-server stop

From Windows host machine

npm install -g redis-cli
rdcli -h UBUNTU.IP.ADDRESS

• https://redis.com/blog/get-redis-cli-without-installing-redis-server/

To find out the guest Ubuntu's IP address

From Ubuntu console

sudo apt install net-tools
ifconfig

From PowerShell

wsl hostname -I

Connecting to Ubuntu's Redis server from Windows host

If you run rdcli -h UBUNTU.IP.ADDRESS and can't get into Ubuntu's Redis server:

In Ubuntu console: sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

Replace bind 127.0.0.1 -::1 with bind 0.0.0.0 -::1

Replace protected-mode yes with protected-mode no

sudo service redis-server restart

Then if you run in PowerShell rdcli -h UBUNTU.IP.ADDRESS and get:

rdcli : File C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\npm\rdcli.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file
C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\npm\rdcli.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current
system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see about_Execution_Policies at
https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

Then run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted in PowerShell

Now try ping in PowerShell rdcli -h UBUNTU.IP.ADDRESS again. You'll get PONG

Note that from your host windows command console, you can also access the Ubuntu commands by prepending wsl

eg:

wsl redis-cli

127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

and for Ubuntu commands that needs sudo and password

wsl -- echo "your-ubuntu-password" `| sudo service redis-server restart
