Hi, this saved me a lot of time :-), however https://raw.github.com/gist/2777433/e64b4b8ad7d38676f7e7f70b24f3f004b4f10b74/redis-server is a dead link again! Can still run redis-server of course.

Why don't you use:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
this guarantees the latest stable release.

At the end:

echo " You can test your redis installation using the redis console:"
echo " $/usr/local/bin/redis-cli"

or just:

echo " $ redis-cli"

Updated version with all the comments and best practices mentioned here. I'll try to keep this version up to date as best I can. Feel free to leave a comment if you find something new.

You can also just enable the epel repo on amazon ami.
yum --enablerepo=epel install redis

However, do note that this may not install the latest and greatest redis. Also, it is disabled at all runlevels by default. Use chkconfig to enable.

And used the Redis stable version as suggested by @josephmo

Faced the 301 moved permanently error at Step 5. Download init script
so here is the latest URL,

The final script goes as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# from here: http://www.codingsteps.com/install-redis-2-6-on-amazon-ec2-linux-ami-or-centos/
# and here: https://raw.github.com/gist/257849/9f1e627e0b7dbe68882fa2b7bdb1b2b263522004/redis-server
