Redis Enterprise Software quickstart

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

{{< note >}} This quickstart is designed for local testing only. For production environments, see the [install and setup]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.8/installing-upgrading#install-redis-enterprise-software" >}}) guide for deployment options and instructions. {{< /note >}}

Configuration for AWS and GCP

For detailed configuration instructions, see your cloud provider's documentation.

1. Create a VPC that you can use with regional subnets.

2. Within this VPC, create firewall rules that allow external and internal access for Redis Enterprise Software.

Ingress/Egress	Source	Protocol	Ports	Other protocols
Ingress	0.0.0.0/0	TCP	21, 22, 53, 8001, 8443, 9443, 8070, <nobr>10000-19999</nobr>	ICMP
Ingress	0.0.0.0/0	UDP	53, 5353
Ingress	10.0.0.0/8 (if subnets use 10. ranges)	all	all

Install Redis Enterprise Software

To install Redis Enterprise Software:

1. Download the installation files from the Redis Enterprise Download Center and copy the download package to a machine with a Linux-based OS.

   {{< note >}} You are required to create a free account to access the download center. {{< /note >}}

2. Extract the installation files:

   shCopy

   tar vxf <downloaded tar file name>
   

3. Run the install.sh script in the current directory:

   shCopy

   sudo ./install.sh -y
   

Set up a cluster

To set up your machine as a Redis Enterprise Software cluster:

{{< embed-md "cluster-setup.md" >}}

Create a database

{{<embed-md "rs-quick-db-setup-7-8.md">}}

Connect to your database

After you create the Redis database, you can connect to it and store data. See [Test client connection]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.8/databases/connect/test-client-connectivity" >}}) for connection options and examples.

Supported web browsers

To use the Redis Enterprise Software Cluster Manager UI, you need a modern browser with JavaScript enabled.

The Cluster Manager UI is officially supported for the latest version of Google Chrome, as well as the three previous and three subsequent versions.
