Setting up Redis server on Ubuntu

Compile Redis

  1. Download and unpack redis from (http://redis.io/download).
  2. Run make or make 32bit (good idea to save on memory or when RAM is low).
  3. Run tests with make test.

Install Redis

  1. Copy binaries (redis-server, redis-cli, etc.) in src/ to /usr/local/bin.
  2. Setup init.d script:
