Redis keeps failing on Windows 10 with Node.JS : Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed – connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

Consider the code :

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const redis = require("redis");
const util = require("util");

const redisUrl = "redis://127.0.0.1:6379";
const client = redis.createClient(redisUrl);
client.hget = util.promisify(client.hget);
const exec = mongoose.Query.prototype.exec;

mongoose.Query.prototype.cache = function(options = {}) {
  this.useCache = true;
  this.hashKey = JSON.stringify(options.key || "");
  return this; // now it's chainable
};

   ... // More code ...

It produces :

events.js:173
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event [0] ^ [0] [0] Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed – connect ECONNREFUSED

And also :

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

Any idea how to fix it ?

I’ve tried to run redis-server from CMD of Windows-10 and got :

'redis-server' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Also followed on the suggestions people offered here but nothing worked.

Any suggestions ?
