Redis Installation ​

To experience Redis, you need a Linux or Mac environment. If you're on Windows, consider using a virtual machine. There are four main installation methods:

  1. Using Docker.
  2. Compiling from GitHub source.
  3. Direct installation via package managers (apt-get install for Ubuntu, yum install for RedHat, or brew install for Mac).
  4. Using the web version of Web Redis for a direct experience.
