Installation

Installing Redict #

There are a few different ways to install Redict:

  • From your system package manager, such as aptitude
  • Installing Redict with a container runtime like Docker
  • Building and installing Redict from source code

Choose the approach that best suits your needs.

Note: Are you switching from Redis®* to Redict? Consult our compatibility guide as well.

Installing from packages #

Your system distribution may include Redict in its package manager; if so this is the recommended means of installing Redict for your system. The recommended package name is simply “redict”.

Browse downstream Redict packages ⤑

After installation, run redict-server, or use your distribution-provided service manager (e.g. systemctl start redict), to start the Redict server. Consult your distribution’s documentation for more details on using Redict with your system.

Installing Redict containers #

There are several official containers for Redict. See Usage with containers for details on using Redict with Docker, podman, Kubernetes, etc.

Installing from source #

To build Redict from source, you need a suitable C11 toolchain and GNU make. Download the latest release from Codeberg (.tar.gz) and install it to /usr/local like so:

# Substitute "$release" with the version number you've downloaded
$ tar -xzf redict-$release.tar.gz
$ cd redict-$release
$ make
$ sudo make install

Once installed, run redict-server to start the Redict server. For more details on customizing the build, enabling TLS support, and so on, consult instructions in the README.md file.
