That said, newer versions of Redis are backward compatible, so if you don't need new commands, then this 3.2.1 version of Redis might work for your development purposes. It's over two years old and has some drawbacks, so the link from the redis.io Downloads page has been removed. There is, however, a 3.2.1 version of Redis that was ported to Windows by MSOpenTech. Officially, Redis is not supported on Windows. In a future post, I will explain how to run Redis in a Docker container. In this post, I explain how to run Redis on earlier versions. In part 1 of this "Redis on Windows" series, I explain how to run Redis on Windows 10 via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). What isn't obvious, however, is how to install today, there is one way to develop with Redis natively on Windows 8.1 (and earlier versions of Windows), and that is with an unsupported port of Redis 3.2.1 for Windows. Even if you access Redis remotely you still need a Redis client compiled for your local Windows machine (ex: Windows is the most popular OS for development, and Visual Studio is the most popular IDE. Of course, there are many ways to slice the data, but it suffices to say A LOT of you reading this post are using Windows right now. Every year, Stack Overflow shares its developer survey, and every year on Windows so you can develop applications that use Redis. It's no secret that more developers code on Windows than any other OS.
