How to Installing Redis Server on AlmaLinux

Redis (Remote Dictionary Server) is an in-memory data structure store that is often used as a cache or a temporary in-memory datastore, and can also function as a message broker

To install Redis Server on AlmaLinux 8, you can follow these steps:

1. Enable the EPEL Repository:
   Redis is available in the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository, which you need to enable before installing Redis.

sudo dnf install epel-release

2. Install Redis:
   Once the EPEL repository is enabled, you can install Redis by running:

sudo dnf install redis

3. Start and Enable Redis Service:
   After installing Redis, start the Redis service and enable it to launch at boot:

sudo systemctl start redis
sudo systemctl enable redis

4. Configure Redis (Optional):
   If you need to customize Redis settings, edit the Redis configuration file located at `/etc/redis.conf`. You can adjust parameters such as memory limits or persistence options as required.

sudo nano /etc/redis.conf

5. Check Redis Service Status:
   To ensure that Redis is running properly, check the service status:

sudo systemctl status redis

6. Test Redis Installation:
   Finally, test the Redis installation by connecting to the Redis server using the Redis CLI:

   redis-cli

Once connected, try executing a command such as `ping`, and you should receive a response `PONG` if Redis is functioning correctly.

These steps will help you set up Redis on AlmaLinux 8, allowing you to use it for your caching, data storage, or messaging needs.
