In my earlier post, I explained how to install Memcached server on Linux and Mac OS systems. Today I will explain how to install Memcached server on Windows operating system.
Install Memcached on Windows
To install the Memcached Server on Windows, we need to have its “exe” or “batch” process file to execute. However, Memcached server was written for Unix/Linux based operating system and you can’t get a Windows version from Memcached server official website.
The problem is solved by Jellycan Code and they provide the Win32 version in a binary format that can be used to install memcached server on Windows.
Steps to install Memcached on Windows
- Download memcached installer zip from http://code.jellycan.com/memcached/ in win32 binary format.
- Unzip it in some hard drive folder. For example C:\memcached
- There will be memcached.exe file in the unzipped folder.
- Open Command Prompt and execute below commands to install it as service and start it.
Now memcached is installed and running as a daemon process on port 11211. You can view it in the Control Panel Services also and stop and start it from there.
You can run memcached.exe -help command to check all the available options like changing ports.
Once you have started memcached server, you can use memcached telnet commands or memcached java client program to test it.

Hello Pankaj,
This blog about memcached is very helpful to give a start. But there is no win32 binary for memcached at “http://code.jellycan.com/memcached/”.

Yes now it’s not there. When I wrote the article, it was there but I never use Windows OS for my development purpose so I am not sure where it’s moved.
Try to do some google and you might find it.
