We have been covering some fairly complex Redis topics here so far, so I thought it would be nice to do a good ol’ getting started guide. This should get you on your feet with Python and Redis on Ubuntu Linux. So, fire up a terminal window and get going!
This guide uses Redis 2.0.3, but you can see if there is a newer version at redis.io:
apt-get install build-essential
wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.0.3.tar.gz
tar -zxf redis-2.0.3.tar.gz
