Install and config Redis on Mac OS X via Homebrew

gistfile1.txt

By using Homebrew, you greatly reduce the cost of setting up and configuring the development environment on Mac OS X.
Let’s install Redis for the good.
```$ brew install redis```
After installation, you will see some notification about some caveats on configuring. Just leave it and continue to following some tasks on this article.
Launch Redis on computer starts.
```$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents```
Start Redis server via “launchctl”.
```$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist```
Start Redis server using configuration file.
```$ redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf```
Stop Redis on autostart on computer start.
```$ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist```
Location of Redis configuration file.
```/usr/local/etc/redis.conf```
Uninstall Redis and its files.
```$ brew uninstall redis```
```$ rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist```
Get Redis package information.
```$ brew info redis```
Test if Redis server is running.
```$ redis-cli ping```
If it replies “PONG”, then it’s good to go!
