Install Memcached on Windows


Steps to install Memcached on Windows:

  1. Download a stable version, in either 32-bit or 64-bit I have tested the 64-bit version.
  2. Unzip it in some hard drive folder. For example C:\memcached
  3. There will be memcached.exe file in the unzipped folder.
  4. Open a command prompt (need to be opened as administrator).
  5. Run c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install

For start and stop run following command line

c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d startc:\memcached\memcached.exe -d stop


I found this github repo which has Cygwin builds for Memcached through this post


I just ran the following off a youtube tutorial after @Bashirpurs step-by-step guide. Make sure to cd into the Memcached folder.

memcached -m 512(This is your memory allocation) -vvv
