One-Command Redis Installation for Ubuntu: Quick Setup Guide

What is Redis?

Redis is an essential in-memory data structure store that powers many modern applications. Since it has fast read/write operations, low latency, and versatile data structures, therefore many websites use it.

Installing Redis using One-Click Script

Installing Redis traditionally involves multiple steps to download, compile, configure security settings, and establish a strong password. This process can be time-consuming and potentially error-prone, especially for developers who need to quickly set up development environments or system administrators provisioning new servers.

This guide provides the fastest way to get Redis up and running on your Ubuntu system with just a one click easy to use pre-built script that ensures:

• Installation of Redis for your server
• Configuration with a strong, randomly generated password
• Complete removal of any existing Redis installations to prevent conflicts
• Proper configuration of network binding for enhanced security
• Automatic service setup with systemd for reliable operation
• Verification of successful installation with connection testing

 

to install redis open your terminal to your Ubuntu Server 

$ cd /tmp && wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ibraheem-ghazi/a8845fb9c4355a8a99b819c2bc1eaf71/raw/b507639e1d9375ca7dd5a0a0a4b892c4b80bc9e8/install-redis.sh && chmod +x /tmp/install-redis.sh && ./install-redis.sh

 

What does this command do ?

• navigate to system tmp directoy
• download the bash script from git
• make the script executable
• execute the script

 

Where can I find the password?

the password will be generated using OpenSSL tool, and the password will be printed in script output under section named "CONFIGURE SECURITY KEY", but in any case if you lose the screen output (such as executing clear command and so on), you still can find it under the following path

cat /tmp/redis-password

 

That's it, following these steps will easily install Redis on your Ubuntu server.

Just ensure to delete /tmp/redis-password once.

 

Conclusion

This one-click Redis installation script eliminates complex setup procedures, giving you a secure, production-ready Redis instance in seconds. Remember to save your password elsewhere and delete /tmp/redis-password for security. Now you can focus on building your application rather than configuring infrastructure.
