To install Redis on Linux, you can follow these steps:
- Open the terminal and log in as the root user or a user with sudo privileges.
- Download the latest stable version of Redis by using the following command:
- Download the redis-x.x.x.tar.gz file using the wget command.
- In this case, x.x.x represents the version number of Redis, which you can replace with the latest version number.
- Unzip the downloaded compressed file using the following command:
- Extract the contents of the file named redis-x.x.x.tar.gz
- Navigate to the Redis directory after extracting it.
- Change directory to redis-x.x.x.

- Modify the configuration file as necessary, such as setting access passwords and listening IP addresses.
- Start the Redis service by using the following command:
- Start the Redis server with the configuration file located at /etc/redis/redis.conf.
- To run Redis as a background service, you can use the following command:
- Start Redis server in daemon mode.
- You can use the command “ps -ef | grep redis” to check if the Redis service has been successfully started.
- Test whether Redis is working properly using the following command:
- Can you check if redis-cli is working by pinging it?
- If “PONG” is returned, it means that Redis has started up successfully.
Now, Redis has been successfully installed on your Linux system. You can access and use it through the client tools provided by Redis or the Redis libraries in programming languages.
