Redis install on base Ubuntu 64 server
Raw
ubunturedisinstall.md

From terminal, first run:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

Then do the normal redis install as mentioned on their website.

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

tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

cd redis-stable

I'm adding this step

make distclean

make

After you've installed everything it'll tell you that running make test is a good idea, but you'll get an error about tcl 8.5 or newer required, so...

sudo apt-get install tk8.5

Now you can run make test and they should all run (there are 36 tests, takes a few minutes to get through them).

To get the binaries in the right place, run

make install

Now you can run redis-server. Check the redis page for more info.
