Install Redis on Windows Server

Question

I am trying to install Redis on my windows Server 2012 R2. The problem is that all the installation guides that I have found are out-of-date.

Can anyone show me the easiest and most recent way to install Redis on Windows?

thanks.

here is the quick start from powershell:

1. install the Chocolatey package manager:

   iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

2. use chocolatey to install redis choco install -y redis-64

   3. run the server: redis-server

What was your windows version? and did it work for you?

Is Chocolatey package manager suitable for production environments?
