How does Windows start Redis?

To start Redis on Windows, you can follow these steps:

1. You can download the Windows version of Redis from either the official Redis website (https://redis.io/download) or the Redis repository on GitHub (https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis/releases).
2. Unzip the downloaded Redis compressed folder and move the extracted folder to a convenient location, such as C:\redis.
3. Open the command prompt and navigate to the path of the Redis folder. For example, use the command “cd C:\redis” to enter the C:\redis directory.
4. To run the Redis server, you can use the command redis-server.exe redis.windows.conf, where redis.windows.conf is the name of the Redis configuration file.
5. The Redis server will start on the default port 6379. If you want to change the port number, you can edit the redis.windows.conf file and change the line “port 6379” to the desired port number.
6. In another command prompt window, you can use the command redis-cli.exe to connect to the running Redis server.

Now, Redis has been successfully launched and is ready for use.
