Install and run Redis locally

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

The easiest way is through Brew, a package manager. So if you have not installed yet, run this:

      
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
      
    
      
$ brew update
$ brew install redis
      
    

Start the service

      
$ brew services start redis
      
    

Ping in order to see if it is running properly

      
$ redis-cli ping
PONG
      
    

Another option is to enter to the prompt and run commands from there

      
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
      
    

To stop the service run:

      
$ brew services stop redis
      
    

Redis configuration file:

      
/usr/local/etc/redis.conf
      
    

Uninstall Redis and all related files.

      
$ brew uninstall redis
$ rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
  
    

Now you can play with more commands such as Delete all keys by a prefix in Redis cluster
