Set up Creatio caching server (Redis) on Windows for development environment

This article covers Redis cache deployment on a Windows server. We recommend deploying Redis on a Linux server for production environment. While you can use Redis on Windows servers, Redis developers do not recommend deploying it there outside of a development environment. This configuration is obsolete and it does not provide an adequate level of data security.

Redis Server is installed as a service. To do this:

1. Download the latest release version of Redis Server setup files on GitHub.

2. Run the redis-server.exe file.

3. During the installation, a number of commands will be run sequentially. After the completion of each command, click [ Next ] and wait for the process to complete.

4. Start the Redis Server after the installation. To do this:

5. Open the list of installed services. There are several methods of doing this:

   • Navigate to [ Start ] –> [ Control Panel ] –> [ Administrative Tools ] –> [ Services ].

   • Run Services.msc from the Command Prompt.

   • Find Redis Server in the service list and double-click the entry.

   • Click [ Start ] in the Redis Server service start window (Fig. 1).
