How to run celery on windows?

Question

How to run celery worker on Windows without creating Windows Service? Is there any analogy to $ celery -A your_application worker?

Answer 1

yes:

celery -A your_application -l info

also note Celery have dropped support for Windows(since v4), so best to

pip install celery==3.1.25

3.1.25 was the last version that works on windows(just tested on my win10 machine). Didn't need to downgrade flower(browser monitor for celery) though.
