Gain insights into Redis's capabilities as a database, cache, and message broker. Delve into commands, transactions, and clustering. Explore flexibility, security, and data structure support with Redis.

Redis.tar.gz

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Unlike Memcached, it supports multiple data types, giving a lot of flexibility to the user. Redis is easy to configure and provides clustering support to store data in multiple servers.

In this course, you will learn about the various commands that you can use to store different types of data structures in Redis. Some of those commands include utility, insertion, and modification commands.

You will also become familiar with different aspects of Redis, such as transactions, security, partitioning, and clustering. In all, this is your go-to guide to Redis.

Complete Guide to Redis

Although all the commands discussed in this course can be tried in the built-in terminal, it's a good idea to install Redis on your machine for more hands-on learning. We will discuss how to install Redis on either Windows or Linux operating systems.

# Installing Redis on Windows

Redis is not developed to work within Windows systems because Windows servers are not widely used. Instead, running the Redis server requires a Unix based operating system, like Ubuntu, or macOS. If you are working on Windows, you have two options:
* Install Ubuntu in a virtual machine or through the Microsoft Store. Then, install Redis in Ubuntu.
* MSOpenTech provides support for Redis in Windows. At the time of writing this course, Redis is supported only until version 3.2.100. If you just want to get basic hands-on experience of Redis, then you can try this option. The steps to install Redis through MSOpenTech are listed below.

* Download the latest version of Redis [here](https://github.com/microsoftarchive/redis/releases). Please download the **Redis-x64-3.2.100.zip** file.
* Save this file to any folder and unzip it.
