How to install Redis Community Edition using APT

Redis Community Edition

Install Redis Community Edition (CE) on Ubuntu or Debian Linux using APT

See this page for a complete list of supported Ubuntu and Debian platforms. Add the repository to the APT index, update it, and install Redis CE:

sudo apt-get install lsb-release curl gpg curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg echo"deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main"| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install redis-server

The most recent version of Redis CE will be installed, along with the redis-tools package (redis-cli, etc.). If you need to install an earlier version, run the following command to list the available versions:

apt policy redis-server redis-server:  Installed: (none) Candidate: 6:7.4.2-1rl1~jammy1  Version table:  6:7.4.2-1rl1~jammy1 500500 https://packages.redis.io/deb jammy/main amd64 Packages  6:7.4.1-1rl1~jammy1 500500 https://packages.redis.io/deb jammy/main amd64 Packages  6:7.4.0-1rl1~jammy1 500500 https://packages.redis.io/deb jammy/main amd64 Packages  6:7.2.7-1rl1~jammy1 500500 https://packages.redis.io/deb jammy/main amd64 Packages

To install an earlier version, say 7.4.2, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install redis-server=6:7.4.2-1rl1~jammy1 redis-tools=6:7.4.2-1rl1~jammy1

Redis CE should start automatically after the initial installation, but it won't start automatically at boot time. To start Redis CE (if not already started) and enable it to start at boot time, run the following commands.

sudo systemctl enable redis-server sudo systemctl start redis-server
