Redis for Windows (Fork)

Forked from redis-windows/redis-windows.

Scope in this fork

• Build and packaging from the official Redis source are limited to MSYS2.
• Redis and MSYS2 license and redistribution notices are bundled in release artifacts.
• Service management support is out of scope.
• .NET/C# wrapper components are out of scope to keep the repository focused on Redis build artifacts.
• Only the necessary files and workflows are kept for this scope.

Usage

For baseline usage and context, refer to redis-windows/redis-windows.

Run the command from the Redis installation directory. Use MSYS2 POSIX paths (/c/..., /d/...) on the command line.

.\redis-server.exe /c/config/redis.conf --dir /d/data --port 6379

Install with winget

The ZIP contents are extracted directly into the selected directory. winget does not add that directory to the PATH. Run redis-server.exe from the installation directory or specify its full path.

For all users, install to a fixed machine-wide directory:

winget install --id taizod1024.redis-windows-fork --exact --scope machine --location "C:\Program Files\Redis for Windows"

Use the same location when upgrading:

winget upgrade --id taizod1024.redis-windows-fork --exact --scope machine --location "C:\Program Files\Redis for Windows"

For the current user only, install without administrator privileges:

winget install --id taizod1024.redis-windows-fork --exact --scope user --location "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Redis for Windows"

Use the same location when upgrading:

winget upgrade --id taizod1024.redis-windows-fork --exact --scope user --location "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Redis for Windows"

Passing the same --location during upgrades keeps the installation path unchanged across Redis versions. If --location is omitted, winget uses its default package directory for the selected scope.

These commands require the updated winget manifest and ZIP layout to be published. Existing installations must be uninstalled and reinstalled once to move to this location.

Technical Details

• Build toolchain: MSYS2
• Runtime: MSYS2
• Path handling: use MSYS2 POSIX-style paths on command line
