To install Redis on your server, follow these simple steps:
-
Download the Latest Version: Visit Redis and download the latest version of Redis from https://redis.io/download.
-
Installation on macOS: If you are using macOS, the installation process is straightforward with Homebrew. Open your terminal and run the following commands:
brew install redis
brew services start redis
This will install Redis on your system and make it start automatically, even after a reboot.
- Manual Start on macOS: If you prefer to start Redis manually, use the following command in your terminal:
redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
- Installation on Linux Ubuntu: For Linux Ubuntu, you can install Redis by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install redis-server
Redis will automatically be up and running on your Linux Ubuntu system.
Once Redis is started, it will be listening on port 6379.
Remember that if you are using Redis on a local server, it is generally safe to run it without a password. However, if you plan to expose Redis to the internet, it is highly recommended to configure a password in the redis.conf configuration file. The location of this file depends on your Operating System.
