The Redis installation on a Mac

Installing Redis on your Mac must first ensure that your Mac has Xcode installed.

Because it uses Xcode's command Tools.

(1) Download Redis http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.8.7.tar.gz extract to current directory.

(2) You can also download it at the terminal:

Curl-o Http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.8.7.tar.gzsudo tar-zxf redis-2.8.7.tar.gz

(3) Modify the folder name, compile

MV redis-2.8.7 REDISCD Redis/sudo makesudo make Testsudo make Isntall

(4) You will find a redis.conf configuration file in the Redis directory, open the edit this profile and locate dir. This line is configured.

This configuration is to write in-memory data to a file, where the database file is to be saved to what is the role of this configuration.

I created the OPT folder under the Mac root directory (Note that this folder must have read and write permissions)

So the configuration of this line is dir/opt/redis/

Save the configuration file after the modification, and move the configuration file to the/etc directory.

sudo mv Redis.conf/etc

(5) After the third step make install succeeds, you should see Redis in this directory

/usr/local/bin/redis-server

(6) Try to start Redis

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

If it runs successfully, you will see the following Redis Boot service screen.

What a domineering start-up interface.

(7) The server has been successfully started, the next step we can start the client to try to connect the Redis service side, while writing data test a

OK, the server is successfully connected and the data is written. The introduction of the API is followed by refinement.
