Installing Redis

Updated November 20, 2025 22:03

This article is only applicable to on-premise installations. If you are a SaaS customer, Redis is automatically installed and configured optimally.

Redis is an in-memory datastore used as a database, cache, and message broker for certain NetX features.

Installing Redis

NetX only supports the use of Memurai as a Redis port for Windows. Installation instructions can be found here: https://docs.memurai.com/en/installation.html

To install Redis on Linux, follow the instructions here: https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/archive/install-redis/install-redis-on-linux/
