Installing Redis

A very basic and quick TLDR; installation of redis for OSX and Linux users.

MacOS/OSX

$ brew install redis

Linux (Ubuntu)

$ sudo apt-get install redis-server

Test and run!

You'll need two terminal sessions. One to run redis-server the other to run redis-cli.

In the redis-cli prompt... When you type ping, you should get a pong back!

$ redis-cli > ping
// PONG
