Redis Installation in Java

To use Redis with Java programs, you need to install Redis on your system. Here’s a basic installation guide:

1. Download Redis

You can download the latest stable version of Redis from the official website or use a package manager if your operating system supports it.

2. Extract and Compile

After downloading, extract the files and navigate to the extracted directory in your terminal. Run the following commands:

$ tar xzf redis-x.y.z.tar.gz
$ cd redis-x.y.z
$ make

3. Start Redis Server

Once compiled, you can start the Redis server by running:

$ src/redis-server

4. Connecting to Redis Server from Java:

To connect to the Redis server from your Java program, you’ll need to include the Jedis library in your project. You can add it to your project using Maven or Gradle, depending on your build tool.

Here’s how you can create a connection:

Java

import redis.clients.jedis.Jedis;
 
public class RedisExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Connect to the Redis server
        Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
 
        // Perform Redis operations here
 
        // Close the connection
        jedis.close();
    }
}

Complete Guide to Redis Java
