Nice script - two bugs then it's perfect:
Line 40: Fails due to sudo not giving elevation to redirections. Try this instead:
sudo sed -e "s/^daemonize no$/daemonize yes/" -e "s/^# bind 127.0.0.1$/bind 127.0.0.1/" -e "s/^dir \.\//dir \/var\/lib\/redis\//" -e "s/^loglevel verbose$/loglevel notice/" -e "s/^logfile stdout$/logfile \/var\/log\/redis.log/" redis.conf | sudo tee /etc/redis/redis.confLine 44: pwd is still /usr/local/src/redis-2.6.0-rc5 Needs sudo to write. Example:
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/gist/2777433/e64b4b8ad7d38676f7e7f70b24f3f004b4f10b74/redis-serverThanks :-)
Should update to the latest stable... (2.6.12) ;-)
Thank you for this.
here's an updated version with the latest version, fixes above and some minor improvements

Exceptional! Thanks guys
Fantastic! Thanks!
Hi, nice job BUT https://raw.github.com/gist/257849/9f1e627e0b7dbe68882fa2b7bdb1b2b263522004/redis-server seems to be death and because of this this script is currently does not work.
thanks for this!
Thank you all for this!
Hi, this saved me a lot of time :-), however https://raw.github.com/gist/2777433/e64b4b8ad7d38676f7e7f70b24f3f004b4f10b74/redis-server is a dead link again! Can still run redis-server of course.
Why don't you use:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
this guarantees the latest stable release.
Voilà, with redis stable
# chmod 777 install-redis.sh
# ./install-redis.sh

Thank You VERY much... you just saved me much time and frustration!
works like a charm! thanks for share!
Updated version with all the comments and best practices mentioned here. I'll try to keep this version up to date as best I can. Feel free to leave a comment if you find something new.
You can also just enable the epel repo on amazon ami.
yum --enablerepo=epel install redis
However, do note that this may not install the latest and greatest redis. Also, it is disabled at all runlevels by default. Use chkconfig to enable.
And used the Redis stable version as suggested by @josephmo
Faced the 301 moved permanently error at Step 5. Download init script
so here is the latest URL,
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dstroot/2777433/raw/061ceb203dc7b002b073f28880f63cfa3ef9b5d2/redis-server
The final script goes as follows:
#!/bin/bash
# from here: http://www.codingsteps.com/install-redis-2-6-on-amazon-ec2-linux-ami-or-centos/
# and here: https://raw.github.com/gist/257849/9f1e627e0b7dbe68882fa2b7bdb1b2b263522004/redis-server

is there an ubuntu version of this as well?
You forgot copying redis.conf file in step 3
sudo cp redis.conf /etc/redis/redis.conf
it is that version the updated one?
thanks all for the script.

This was really helpful to me. The "sed" line (40) doesn't work for me giving me an access denied error.
If I manually create the redis.conf file, everything else works.
