I probably spend more time than most in redis-cli, because I find it invaluable when I’m writing software or getting to know a new module. If I didn’t have redis-cli, understanding Redis’ data structures and testing connections would be far more complicated, and I probably would’ve stopped using Redis long ago.
IRedis is a client that connects to the Redis server. The tool supports connecting to Redis server and Redis cluster server. 2X Client RDP connects with the 2X ApplicationServer XG to publish any Windows application to Mac desktops.

Redis supports hash, strings, lists and other complicated data structures by maintaining very high performance. Redis along with Node.js can be used as to solve various problems such as cache server or message broker. In this tutorial, we will cover popular and useful Redis ….

Redis-cli by itself isn’t that complicated – it’s a REPL (read–eval–print loop) that speaks to the Redis server. However, getting this jewel of a tool is not straightforward for many. The source for redis-cli is included in the Redis github repository and is automatically compiled when you build Redis from source. But what happens if you can’t (or don’t want to) build Redis from source? It means you also don’t have redis-cli and building an entire database from source just to get access to the command-line interface (CLI) utility is overkill and sometimes not even an option.

In this post, I’ll share how to get redis-cli without installing or having to make a full Redis server, but first let’s look at a couple scenarios.
Problem: Can’t built Redis from source
For those of us on Linux or macOS, building Redis from source involves having the relevant compilers and tools on your system and running make, which produces both the CLI and the Redis server. For most developers on these platforms, that’s not a huge burden.
However, if you’re not on a unix-like system, things get complicated quickly. For various reasons, you can’t just compile Redis on Windows. Microsoft once supported a fork of Redis that ran directly on Windows-based machines, but it’s no longer maintained. That means that, on Windows, you can’t get a current version of redis-cli. While it’s possible to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux that can run Redis, this has its own challenges, such as file system limitations and just generally not feeling native or appropriate for the system. In addition, there are many developers who have development machines locked down in fun and creative ways to explicitly block this type of operation.
Finally, you might be in a situation where you’re on a low-spec server and you just need to do some quick checks in Redis – getting the dependencies and building the software may not be possible in these constrained environments.
Problem: Don’t want to build Redis from source
There are many situations where you may be building software that uses Redis, but you’ll never personally manage or administer even a localhost process of Redis. Imagine if you’re using Redis Enterprise Cloud – you can have a Redis instance in seconds, but if you want to do anything with it you need to have CLI, which requires building the whole package from source. Or perhaps you’re at a large organization that is running a self-managed Redis Enterprise Software cluster. Here too, you may not have an actual need to build the Redis server on your development machine, since you just want to connect up remotely.
Finally, you might want to get up and running quickly. Pulling down the entire Redis C project (and all the tools needed to build that) might not be efficient for your workflow.
If you fall in one of the above scenarios, read on.
Invoking Atwood’s Law
In 2007, Jeff Atwood wrote, rather disparagingly:
“Any application that can be written in JavaScript will eventually be written in JavaScript.”
Bringing this to Redis, Lu Jiajing started a small project (less than 250 lines of JavaScript!) in 2015 to reimplement the overall operation of redis-cli in Node.js. Since then, it’s gotten closer to mimicking the Antirez-provided redis-cli. While not perfect (yet), it provides the bulk of the functionalities that you’d need on a day-to-day basis.
You may ask, why bother with this if you still have to install Node.js first? Well, first off, Node.js provides a much wider range of installation options than Redis. You can get it as a GUI msi for Windows or a pkg for macOS, as well as plain old compressed binaries for Windows, macOS or Linux, and you can also install Node.js via a package manager on many platforms.
Installing and running Node.js redis-cli
Once you’ve installed Node.js and npm, it’s a simple one-liner to get and install the Node.js version of redis-cli:
npm install -g redis-cli
Then you can run it with the command:
rdcli -h your.redis.host -a yourredispassword -p 11111
(using your relevant connection information).
Alternately, if you don’t like global installs, you can clone the repository and install the dependencies:
git clonehttps://github.com/lujiajing1126/redis-cli
cd redis-cli
npm install
Then you can run it from this directory by invoking the index.js file directly with the command line arguments:
node index.js -h your.redis.host -a yourredispassword -p 11111
(using your relevant connection information).
Redis-cli without building Redis
There you have it. You can get redis-cli up and running on your development machine quickly and easily with Node.js redis-cli written by Lu Jiajing. Instead of building the whole Redis project with C, you can just grab Node.js (even better if you already have it installed, and you probably do, let’s be honest), install this small module and start hacking away in Redis.
Bonus
One cool little use of this module is to make it a part of devDependencies in your package.json on a Node.js project. This way, you can effectively “pack-in” redis-cli with your project, making sure everyone on your team has the tool. To do this, install it as a development dependency:
npm install –save-dev redis-cli
Then in your package.json, add the following line to the beginning of the scripts object:
“rediscli”: “node ./node_modules/redis-cli/index.js”,
Now, anyone who has your project can start redis-cli by running:
npm start rediscli -h your.redis.host -a yourredispassword -p 11111
(using your relevant connection information).
You can even hard code in arguments if need be, but never include your Redis password in your package.json file!
Redis uses a standard practice for its versioning: major.minor.patchlevel. An even minor marks a stable release, like 1.2, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8. Odd minors are used for unstable releases, for example 2.9.x releases are the unstable versions of what will be Redis 3.0 once stable.
Unstable
This is where all the development happens. Only for hard-core hackers. Use only if you need to test the latest features or performance improvements. This is going to be the next Redis release in a few months.Pre-release (6.2)
Redis 6.2 includes many new commands and improvements, but no big features. It mainly makes Redis more complete and addresses issues that have been requested by many users frequently or for a long time.Stable (6.0)
Redis 6.0 introduces SSL, the new RESP3 protocol, ACLs, client side caching, diskless replicas, I/O threads, faster RDB loading, new modules APIs and many more improvements.Docker Hub
It is possible to get Docker images of Redis from the Docker Hub. Multiple versions are available, usually updated in a short time after a new release is available.In the Cloud

*Other
Historical downloads are still available on https://download.redis.io/.Scripts and other automatic downloads can easily access the tarball of the latest Redis stable version at https://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz, and its respective SHA256 sum at https://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz.SHA256SUM. The source code of the latest stable release is always browsable here, use the file src/version.h in order to extract the version in an automatic way.
*How to verify files for integrity
The Github repository redis-hashes contains a README file with SHA1 digests of released tarball archives. Note: the generic redis-stable.tar.gz tarball does not match any hash because it is modified to untar to the redis-stable directory.
