Install Redis on Windows10 without admin rights

To install Redis on Windows10, you need to enable WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). WSL2 lets you run Linux binaries natively on Windows.

If you are running old WSL, you need to enable WSL2 by following this instruction. Unfortunately, enabling WSL2 requires admin right though :(

Prerequisite:

You have WSL2 enabled Windows 10 or Windows 11.
You have Git installed.
You have Curl installed.

C:\> wsl -l -v
  NAME                   STATE           VERSION
* docker-desktop         Running         2
  docker-desktop-data    Running         2
C:\>curl -V
curl 8.0.1 (Windows) libcurl/8.0.1 Schannel WinIDN
...
C:\>git --version
git version 2.39.1.windows.1

Assuming you have WSL2, Git and Curl installed, what you need to do is to install Redis server and ResisJson from source code.
