- We can download the binary from the download section of redis.io, or use homebrew, wget or Curl. Personally, I am not a big fan of homebrew, even though it might be the most common way of downloading packages via the terminal for mac.
- Note: Medis only supports Redis = 2.8 version because SCAN command was introduced since 2.8. SCAN is very useful to get key list without blocking the server, which is crucial to the production environment. Because the latest stable is 5.0 and 2.6 is a very old version, Medis doesn't support it. Download Medis on Windows.

- Download a latest stable release of Redis from here. ( at the time of writing this step by step guide the latest stable release is 3.2.8 ).
- Unzip / extract the redis in the directory of your choice. ( in my case I unzipped it in the Documents)
- Open the Terminal Window and cd to your respective directory where redis was unzipped.
- Use the following command to validate if redis can complete a clean installation.1
$ sudo make - As the make test was successful in our previous step so there is no need to worry about these messages.
cd src && /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all Hint: It’s a good idea to run ‘make test’ 😉 - Finally our Redis installation on Mac is complete and we are ready to Run the Redis as standalone database on our Mac Book.
Starting the redis
- use the following command to start the Redis as a standalone application.1
$ src / redis - cli - You will see the Redis prompt where you can run the Redis commands.
- Try this command to add a data of type key value pair.1
$ get RDTSCHOOL - Here are the output for the set and get commands.
- Here is my next Post where you will be learning how to change the port for Redis because you can change that as per availability in your organization and how to secure the Redis Database.
- In case your installation was not successful due to some issue and you want to do some hands on experiences you can try a live installation here.
