Redis Open Source

## Install Redis Open Source on Ubuntu Linux using Snap

To install Redis via snap, run the following commands:

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis-tools # this will install `redis-cli`
sudo snap install redis
```

Redis will start automatically after installation and also at boot time.

## Connect to Redis

Once Redis is running, you can test it by running `redis-cli`:

```bash
redis-cli
```

Test the connection with the `ping` command:

```bash
127.0.0.1:6379> PING
PONG
```
