In order to get the latest version of Redis, we will use apt to install it from the official Ubuntu repositories.
Update your local apt package cache and install Redis by typing:
$ sudo apt update$ sudo apt install redis-server |
This will download and install Redis and its dependencies.
If on A regular Ubuntu distribution, change the configuration for the server to run as a service.
Open this file with your preferred text editor:
$ sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf |
Change the following:
supervised no |
Change as below.
supervised systemd |
Restart
# sudo systemctl restart redis.service |
On WSL ubuntu:
sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server restart |
Start by checking that the Redis service is running:
$ sudo systemctl status redis |
on WSL ubuntu
$ sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server status* redis-server is running |
To test that Redis is functioning correctly, connect to the server using the command-line client:
$ redis-cli |
In the prompt that follows, test connectivity with the ping command:
