wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.2.2.tar.gz
tar -xzvf redis-2.2.2.tar.gz
cd redis-2.2.2 && sudo make && sudo make install

Five binaries will be installed to /usr/local/bin, redis-server, redis-benchmark, redis-cli, redis-check-dump and redis-check-aof. You’ll have to manually copy the Redis configuration file to /etc like this:

sudo mkdir /etc/redis
sudo cp redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf


sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

    daemonize yes
    pidfile /var/run/redis.pid
    port 6379
    bind <privateip>
    timeout 300
    logfile /var/log/redis/redis-server.log
    databases 16
    dbfilename dump.rdb
    dir /var/lib/redis

Startup redis:

sudo redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf

Kill redis:

sudo killall redis-server

install_redis_mac.txt

Mac:

brew install redis

Automatically load on login with:
  launchctl load -w /usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.2.2/io.redis.redis-server.plist

To start redis manually:
  redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

To access the server:
  redis-cli

# By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' if you need it.
# Note that Redis will write a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid when daemonized.
daemonize yes 

# When running daemonized, Redis writes a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid by
# default. You can specify a custom pid file location here.
pidfile /var/run/redis.pid

# Accept connections on the specified port, default is 6379.
# If port 0 is specified Redis will not listen on a TCP socket.
port 6379

# If you want you can bind a single interface, if the bind option is not
# specified all the interfaces will listen for incoming connections.
#
bind 192.168.167.60

# Close the connection after a client is idle for N seconds (0 to disable)
timeout 300

# Specify the log file name. Also 'stdout' can be used to force
# Redis to log on the standard output. Note that if you use standard
# output for logging but daemonize, logs will be sent to /dev/null
logfile /var/log/redis/redis-server.log

# Set the number of databases. The default database is DB 0, you can select
# a different one on a per-connection basis using SELECT <dbid> where
# dbid is a number between 0 and 'databases'-1
