Install from Packages

Dragonfly provides native packages for RPM-based and Debian-based Linux distributions. These packages are hosted at packages.dragonflydb.io and are signed with GPG keys for security.

sudo dnf install -y dragonfly

redis-cli -p 6379 PING

You should see a PONG response if Dragonfly is running correctly.
