Installation

Installing Redis in Local

1. Open PowerShell (or CMD) and install Ubuntu:

   wsl --install -d Ubuntu

   Or if already installed:

   wsl -d Ubuntu

2. Once inside Ubuntu (real WSL, not Docker shell), run your Redis setup:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y curl gnupg
   curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg

3. Start Redis service:

   sudo service redis-server start

4. Check if Redis is running:

   sudo service redis-server status

5. Test Redis CLI

   redis-cli ping

Installing Redis with Docker

Using Docker is often easier because Redis runs in an isolated container.

docker run --name redis-server -d -p 6379:6379 redis

• --name redis-server → container name
• -d → detached mode (run in background)
• -p 6379:6379 → maps Redis default port to local machine

Connect to Redis Container:

docker exec -it redis-server redis-cli

>>GET product:5001
