bin is src/redis-cli

thanks dude, this is helpful

Thanks!

In 1 copypaste:

sudo yum install -y gcc
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make
sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

Had to make deps also (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94479/jemalloc-and-other-errors-making-redis-on-centos-6-4)

sudo yum install -y gcc
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd deps
make hiredis jemalloc linenoise lua geohash-int
cd ..
make install
sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

sudo yum install -y gcc wget
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make
sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

terraform user_data

data "template_cloudinit_config" "bastion_user_data" {
  gzip = false
  base64_encode = true

  # install mysql, redis client
  part {
    content_type = "text/x-shellscript"
    content = <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
cd /root
yum install -y mysql
yum install -y gcc wget
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make
cp /root/redis-stable/src/redis-cli /home/ec2-user/
chown ec2-user:ec2-user /home/ec2-user/redis-cli
EOF
  }
}

You might want to use terraform template to replace username. Checkout these examples.

After doing it, redis clis is not working
[ec2-user@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx redis-stable]$ redis-cli
-bash: redis-cli: command not found

It works from src folder if prefixed with './'
like so
[ec2-user@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx src]$ ./redis-cli

@test82987 Symlink to it from somewhere in your PATH. eg. ln -s /path/to/redis-stable/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/. Then, assuming /usr/local/bin is in your PATH (run echo $PATH to find out), just running redis-cli should work.

For anyone wondering, the executables are placed inside the src folder.

Can be run by doing $ ./src/redis-cli.

Thanks!

what about make install instead of cping the file?

Is it possible to connect to a Redis cluster from userdata itself and write in variables ?

thanks dude, this is simple and helpful.

This is all you need to properly install redis-cli and remove the remnants of any build related things:

yum install -y gcc
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make && make install
yum erase -y gcc && yum autoremove -y && yum clean

It's a refinement of https://gist.github.com/todgru/14768fb2d8a82ab3f436#gistcomment-2610635 (installing correctly using make install and cleaning up)

Update: yes you need sudo if you're not root. I'm running this in cloud-init scripts so I am root.

I think you need to use sudo for the make install to work. At least I run your script today and I got that error
But, thanks for the script.

If you have errors running make with the redis-stable version, you can download version 5.0.8
wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-5.0.8.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-5.0.8.tar.gz && cd redis-5.0.8 && make sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

I am using AWS Linux

Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.09

I need to install gcc64 before running build. If you don't do that, you will face that problem

yum install gcc64

all you need on Amazon Linux 2 is;

yum install gcc
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make MALLOC=libc
chmod a+x src/redis-cli
cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

Minor change to @chrisdlangton

wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

cd redis-stable

make MALLOC=libc

chmod a+x src/redis-cli

sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/bin/

Run the following commands line by line to install Redis and dependencies.

1. sudo yum -y install gcc make # install GCC compiler
2. cd /usr/local/src
3. sudo wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
4. sudo tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
5. sudo rm -f redis-stable.tar.gz
6. cd redis-stable
7. sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
8. sudo make distclean
9. sudo make
10. sudo yum install -y tcl
11. sudo make test
12. sudo cp src/redis-server /usr/local/bin/
13. sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/
14. redis-server
15. redis-cli

Simple way to install

Thanks!

How to install redis-cli with --tls flag enabled ? By default --tls is not enabled.

sudo amazon-linux-extras install redis6

thanks, @thapabishwa, worked for me. thanks

sudo amazon-linux-extras enable redis6
sudo yum clean metadata
sudo yum update
sudo yum install redis

Thanks

faced this issue recently
Combining all solutions is what I shared with DevOps on the Ubuntu system.

sudo wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
sudo tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo make BUILD_TLS=yes

./src/redis-cli -h <REDIS_HOST> --tls -p 6379

On Amazon Linux 2 this worked for me:

yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum update -y
yum install -y redis

On Amazon Linux you can use this:

$ sudo yum install gcc openssl-devel
$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make BUILD_TLS=yes

and then connect using this:

$ src/redis-cli -h conn-string-elasticache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 --tls

// If you have auth
$ src/redis-cli -h conn-string-elasticache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 --tls -a password
