## Install Redis Open Source on Rocky Linux 8 and 9, or AlmaLinux 8 and 9 using RPM

Follow these steps to install Redis Open Source.

1.  Create the file `/etc/yum.repos.d/redis.repo` with the following contents.
    
    *   For Rocky Linux 9 and AlmaLinux 9
        
        ```ini
        [Redis]
        name=Redis
        baseurl=http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux9
        enabled=1
        gpgcheck=1
        ```
        
    *   For Rocky Linux 8 and AlmaLinux 8
        
        ```ini
        [Redis]
        name=Redis
        baseurl=http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux8
        enabled=1
        gpgcheck=1
        ```
        
2.  Run the following commands:
    
    ```bash
    curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg > /tmp/redis.key
    sudo rpm --import /tmp/redis.key
    sudo yum install redis
    ```
    

Redis will not start automatically, nor will it start at boot time. To do this, run the following commands.

```bash
sudo systemctl enable redis
sudo systemctl start redis
```
