brew install redis
To have launchd start redis at login:
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load redis now:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf
redis-cli
set foo bar
get foo ==> “bar"
