Setup redis-cli on AWS EC2

SSH into your EC2 instance. Run the following:

$ sudo yum install gcc This may return an "already installed" message. That's OK.

$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make

See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/GettingStarted.ConnectToCacheNode.Redis.html

Very Simple:

For Ubuntu/Debian-based Systems

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-tools

For Amazon Linux/RedHat-based Systems
sudo yum install redis
