Index Management in Magento 2 [duplicate]

Question

Can anyone tell me how does re indexing work in Magento 2.

Right now there are two options - Update on save and Update by schedule.

But like in Magento 1 there is no option for manual re index.

It is not updating upon save. Cannot choose update by schedule option because i'm running my magento 2 in localhost which doesn't support cron.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you need to manually reindex you can refer to this post: magento.stackexchange.com/a/139088/2380 — Raphael at Digital Pianism, Commented Oct 7, 2016 at 10:22

In magento2 You can run index management using command line.To reindex check below steps

Log in to the Magento server as, or switch to, a user who has permissions to write to the Magento file system. One way to do this is to switch to the Magento file system owner.
To run Magento commands from any directory, add /bin to your system PATH.

After reaching magento2 root directory run below command

magento indexer:reindex

For windows environment run below command

php bin/magento indexer:reindex
