            Install and Test Redis
Launch the installed distro from your Windows Store and then install redis-server. The following example works with Ubuntu (you’ll need to wait for initialization and create a login upon first use):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install redis-server
redis-cli -v
Restart the Redis server to make sure it is running:
sudo service redis-server restart
Execute a simple Redis command to verify your Redis server is running and available:
redis-cli 
127.0.0.1:6379> set user:1 "Jane"
127.0.0.1:6379> get user:1
"Jane"
To stop your Redis server:
sudo service redis-server stop
5.3.3. Configure a Redis Password
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
Scroll to the SECURITY section and look for a commented directive that reads:
# requirepass foobared
Uncomment it by removing the #, and change foobared to a secure password.
To generate a strong password for Redis-server:
openssl rand 60 | openssl base64 -A
