Installing and configuring Redis under Mac

Installing Redis with homebrew can reduce the amount of installation and configuration effort.

• Detects if the homebrew is installed

Brew-v

• Installation commands

Brew Install Redis

• Message after installation is complete

To has launchd start Redis at login:
Ln-sfv/usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/library/launchagents
Then-to-load Redis now:
Launchctl Load ~/library/launchagents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
Or, if you don ' t want/need launchctl, you can just run:
Redis-server/usr/local/etc/redis.conf

• Boot up Redis command

$ ln-sfv/usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/library/launchagents

• Starting Redis server with Launchctl

$ launchctl Load ~/library/launchagents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

• To start Redis server using a configuration file

$ redis-server/usr/local/etc/redis.conf

• Redis commands are used to perform operations on the Redis service.

  A Redis client is required to execute commands on the Redis service. The Redis client is in the Redis installation package that we downloaded earlier.

  • To start the Redis client:

  • $redis-127.0.  0.1:6379>127.0.  0.1:6379> pingpong           

In the above example we connect to the local Redis service and perform a PING command that detects whether the Redis service is started.

• Execute command on remote service
  • syntax:

    $ redis -cli -h host -p Port Span class= "pun" >-a password          

  •  example:  

 $redis -cli -h 127.0. 0.1 -p 6379-a  "mypass"  Redis 127.0 0.1:6379> Redis Span class= "lit" >127.0. 0.1:6379> PING PONG    

============

127.0.0.1:6379> Keys ' * * '

(empty list or set)

Assigns a value to a string named key in the database

127.0.0.1:6379> Set name Yihua

Ok

Returns the value of a string named key in the database

127.0.0.1:6379> Get Name

127.0.0.1:6379>

============

• Stop the Redis server from booting

$ launchctl Unload ~/library/launchagents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

/usr/local/etc/redis.conf

• Turn off Redis

REDIS-CLI shutdown
