A repository hosting binary releases of Microsoft's unofficial Windows port of Redis, plus a Vagrant configuration for running native Redis in a VirtualBox VM. It documents several options for Windows developers to run Redis locally, including WSL.

Use cases

• run redis locally on windows for development
• download redis windows binaries
• set up redis in a vagrant virtualbox vm
• install redis on windows subsystem for linux
• test redis caching without a linux server

When to choose

• you develop on Windows and need a local Redis instance for testing
• you want prebuilt Redis binaries for Windows without compiling
• you prefer running native Redis in a VM or WSL instead of the outdated Windows port

When to avoid

• you need Redis for production, where native Linux Redis is recommended
• you need the latest Redis features, since the MS Open Tech port lags behind official releases
• you are not on Windows
