# For Linux server(Not yet tested by me):

Follow the below steps:

Installation Download, extract and compile Redis with:

$ wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-4.0.9.tar.gz $ tar xzf redis-4.0.9.tar.gz $ cd redis-4.0.9 $ make The binaries that are now compiled are available in the src directory. Run Redis with:

$ src/redis-server You can interact with Redis using the built-in client:

$ src/redis-cli redis> set foo bar OK redis> get foo "bar"

# For Mac

Install and config Redis on Mac OS X via Homebrew

By using Homebrew, you greatly reduce the cost of setting up and configuring the development environment on Mac OS X.

Let’s install Redis for the good.

$ brew install redis After installation, you will see some notification about some caveats on configuring. Just leave it and continue to following some tasks on this article.

Launch Redis on computer starts. $ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Start Redis server via “launchctl”. $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

Start Redis server using configuration file. $ redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

Stop Redis on autostart on computer start. $ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

Location of Redis configuration file. /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

Uninstall Redis and its files. $ brew uninstall redis

$ rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

Get Redis package information. $ brew info redis

Test if Redis server is running. $ redis-cli ping

If it replies “PONG”, then it’s good to go!

Well, I guess, that’s it!

Have fun Redis-ing ☺
