Redis is an in-memory data structure store that is commonly used for caching and real-time data processing. Installing Redis on Ubuntu is a straightforward process, and there are two ways to do it.
This is the easiest and most convenient way to install Redis on Ubuntu. Here are the steps:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo systemctl status redis
The output should indicate that Redis is active and running.
This method involves compiling Redis from source code, which can be more complex than installing it from a package manager but gives you more control over the installation process. Here are the steps:
sudo apt install build-essential tcl
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
make test
sudo make install
sudo systemctl enable redis
sudo systemctl status redis
The output should indicate that Redis is active and running.
That's it! You should now have Redis up and running on your Ubuntu machine.
Dragonfly is fully compatible with the Redis ecosystem and requires no code changes to implement.
