Today we will cover a snippet on how to install Redis on Mac OSX (version 10.9 currently).

To install Redis, enter the following commands.

curl -O http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar -xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz 
rm redis-stable.tar.gz 
cd redis-stable 
make 
sudo make install

curl -O http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

tar -xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

rm redis-stable.tar.gz

cd redis-stable

make

sudo make install

Then to start Redis, you can enter this command.

redis-server

1	redis-server

Congrats! Now you have Redis up and running on your Mac.

  If you are trying to install Redis on an Ubuntu instance, I would suggest looking at this tutorial on DigitalOcean – https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-redis
