This guide helps you install Redis Enterprise Software on a Linux host to test its capabilities.

When finished, you'll have a simple cluster with a single node:

  1. Ensure port availability

  2. Install Redis Enterprise Software

  3. Set up a Redis Enterprise Software cluster

  4. Create a new Redis database

  5. Connect to your Redis database
