This redis-installer project bootstraps Redis in two scenarios.

Scenario 1.

Installing as a single user

  ∴ ./bin/install-redis

  * As root on localhost (bin/install-redis) this will:

    - Install redis-server and redis-cli to /usr/local/bin/

    - Ensure that redis related directories exist,

      /etc/redis /var/log/redis /var/run/redis /data/redis


    After root installation you can control redis like so:

      ∴ /etc/init.d/redis start # /etc/rc.d on systems like ArchLinux

      ∴ /etc/init.d/redis stop  # /etc/rc.d on systems like ArchLinux

  * As a regular user (great for development) this will:

    - Install redis-server and redis-cli to $HOME/bin/

    - Ensure that redis related directories exist,

      $HOME/.redis/log $HOME/.redis/run $HOME/.redis/data $HOME/.redis/pids $HOME/bin


    After installing as a user, you can start redis like this:

      ∴ ~/bin/redis-server ~/.redis/config/redis.conf

    And then stop redis like this:

      ∴ ~/bin/redis-cli SHUTDOWN

    NOTE: This will improve 'soon' :)

Scenario 2.

Any number of remote hosts (bin/install-redis-on-hosts)

  ∴ ./bin/install-redis-on-hosts root@host1 root@host2

This will Install redis system wide on the remote hosts specified.
