This project is no longer being actively maintained. 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.
## Redis on Windows
- This is a port for Windows based on [Redis](https://github.com/antirez/redis).
- We officially support the 64-bit version only. Although you can build the 32-bit version from source if desired.
- You can download the latest unsigned binaries and the unsigned MSI installer from the [release page](http://github.com/MSOpenTech/redis/releases "Release page").
- 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.
- Signed binaries are available through [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Redis-64/) and [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/redis-64).
- Redis can be installed as a Windows Service.
## Windows-specific changes
- 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.
- 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.
- Because Redis makes some assumptions about the values of file descriptors, we have built a virtual file descriptor mapping layer.
## Redis release notes
There are two current active branches: 2.8 and 3.0.
- Redis on UNIX [2.8 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/2.8/00-RELEASENOTES)
- Redis on Windows [2.8 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/2.8/Redis%20on%20Windows%20Release%20Notes.md)
- Redis on UNIX [3.0 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/3.0/00-RELEASENOTES)
- Redis on Windows [3.0 release notes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MSOpenTech/redis/3.0/Redis%20on%20Windows%20Release%20Notes.md)

## How to build Redis using Visual Studio
You 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.
- Open the solution file msvs\redisserver.sln in Visual Studio, select a build configuration (Debug or Release) and target (x64) then build.
This should create the following executables in the msvs\$(Target)\$(Configuration) folder:
- redis-server.exe
- redis-benchmark.exe
- redis-cli.exe
- redis-check-dump.exe
- redis-check-aof.exe
## Testing
To run the Redis test suite some manual work is required:
- 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
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.
- The tests make use of TCL. This must be installed separately.
- To run the cluster tests against 3.0, Ruby On Windows is required.
- 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:
"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
following error message: "couldn't execute "cat": no such file or directory".
- By default the test suite launches 16 parallel tests, but 2 is the suggested number.
