If you are looking for a Windows version of Redis, you may want to check out [Memurai](https://www.memurai.com/). Please note that Microsoft is not officially endorsing this product in any way.\n\n## Redis on Windows \n\n- This is a port for Windows based on [Redis](https://github.com/antirez/redis).\n- We officially support the 64-bit version only. Although you can build the 32-bit version from source if desired.\n- You can download the latest unsigned binaries and the unsigned MSI installer from the [release page](http://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/releases \"Release page\").\n- For releases prior to 2.8.17.1, the binaries can found in a zip file inside the source archive, under the bin/release folder.\n- Signed binaries are available through [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Redis-64/) and [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/redis-64).\n- Redis can be installed as a Windows Service.\n\n## Windows-specific changes\n- There is a replacement for the UNIX fork() API that simulates the copy-on-write behavior using a memory mapped file on 2.8. Version 3.0 is using a similar behavior but dropped the memory mapped file in favor of the system paging file.\n- In 3.0 we switch the default memory allocator from dlmalloc to jemalloc that is supposed to do a better job at managing the heap fragmentation.\n- Because Redis makes some assumptions about the values of file descriptors, we have built a virtual file descriptor mapping layer. \n\n## Redis release notes\n\nThere are two current active branches: 2.8 and 3.0.\n\n- Redis on UNIX [2.8 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/2.8/00-RELEASENOTES)\n- Redis on Windows [2.8 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/2.8/Redis%20on%20Windows%20Release%20Notes.md)\n- Redis on UNIX [3.0 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/3.0/00-RELEASENOTES)\n- Redis on Windows [3.0 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/3.0/Redis%20on%20Windows%20Release%20Notes.md)\n\n## How to configure and deploy Redis on Windows\n\n- [Memory Configuration for 2.8](https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/wiki/Memory-Configuration \"Memory Configuration\")\n- [Memory Configuration for 3.0](https://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/wiki/Memory-Configuration-For-Redis-3.0 \"Memory Configuration\")\n- [Windows Service Documentation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/3.0/Windows%20Service%20Documentation.md \"Windows Service Documentation\")\n- [Redis on Windows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/2.8/Redis%20on%20Windows.md \"Redis on Windows\")\n- [Windows Service Documentation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/2.8/Windows%20Service%20Documentation.md \"Windows Service Documentation\")\n\n## How to build Redis using Visual Studio\n\nYou can use the free [Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition](http://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs). Regardless which Visual Studio edition you use, make sure you have updated to Update 5, otherwise you will get a \"illegal use of this type as an expression\" error.\n\n- Open the solution file msvs\\redisserver.sln in Visual Studio, select a build configuration (Debug or Release) and target (x64) then build.\n\n    This should create the following executables in the msvs\\$(Target)\\$(Configuration) folder:\n\n    - redis-server.exe\n    - redis-benchmark.exe\n    - redis-cli.exe\n    - redis-check-dump.exe\n    - redis-check-aof.exe\n\n## Testing\n\nTo run the Redis test suite some manual work is required:\n\n- The tests assume that the binaries are in the src folder. Use mklink to create a symbolic link to the files in the msvs\\x64\\Debug|Release folders. You will\n  need symbolic links for src\\redis-server, src\\redis-benchmark, src\\redis-check-aof, src\\redis-check-dump, src\\redis-cli, and src\\redis-sentinel.\n- The tests make use of TCL. This must be installed separately.\n- To run the cluster tests against 3.0, Ruby On Windows is required.\n- To run the tests you need to have a Unix shell on your machine, or MinGW tools in your path. To execute the tests, run the following command: \n  \"tclsh8.5.exe tests/test_helper.tcl --clients N\", where N is the number of parallel clients . If a Unix shell is not installed you may see the \n  following error message: \"couldn't execute \"cat\": no such file or directory\".\n- By default the test suite launches 16 parallel tests, but 2 is the suggested number. \n  \n## Code of Conduct\n\nThis project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/).
