For the Windows version of Redis, you can download it from the official Redis website's GitHub repository. The official repository provides precompiled binaries for Windows. Follow these steps to download Redis for Windows:

  1. Open your web browser and go to the Redis official GitHub repository for Windows: https://github.com/redis/redis.

  2. On the repository page, navigate to the "Releases" section. You can find it by clicking on the "Releases" tab near the top of the page.

  3. In the releases section, scroll down to find the latest release version available for Windows. Look for a release marked as compatible with Windows.

  4. Once you find the desired release, you will see a list of assets available for download. Look for the asset file ending with .zip, as this contains the Windows version of Redis.

  5. Click on the asset file with the .zip extension to start the download. Save the file to a location on your computer.

  6. After the download is complete, extract the contents of the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. This directory will be the location where you can run Redis.

You now have Redis installed on your Windows system. You can navigate to the extracted directory and run the Redis server by executing the redis-server.exe executable. Additionally, you can use the redis-cli.exe executable to connect to the Redis server and interact with it from the command line.

It's worth noting that while the official Redis repository provides precompiled binaries for Windows, Redis is primarily developed and supported on Linux. Therefore, it's recommended to use Redis on a Linux environment for production purposes, as it is typically more stable and performant.
