Install Redis via Homebrew

Redis.sh

#!/bin/bash
brew install redis  # Install Redis using Homebrew
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents  # Enable Redis autostart

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist  # Start Redis server via launchctl
# homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist contains reference to redis.conf file location: /usr/local/etc/redis.conf 

redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf # Start Redis server using configuration file, Ctrl+C to stop
redis-cli ping # Check if the Redis server is running

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist # Disable Redis autostart

Thanks!

🙌

Thanks man! Finally find the redis.conf on mac LOL

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your solution. This has helped me a lot!

Thanks!

Awesome!

This script has a confusing outcome if the ~/Library/LaunchAgents directory does not exist. It will create ~/Library/LaunchAgents as a symbolic link to the plist file. So maybe consider adding a line before line 3 like this:

mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents # Ensure the LaunchAgents directory exists

I came across this gist through Google. So, today after running brew install redis I saw the message:

To have launchd start redis now and restart at login:
  brew services start redis
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

Instead of following this gist's instructions, I did that. I'm thinking brew services is the more modern way to do this...?
