Thanks, needed up something up quickly for hackathon and this came in handy 👍

Hi,
I used version=4.0.6 the latest version.
Ran this script and the compilation was done smoothly, however while service starting it was stuck at a point listed below. If i check the redis server was up and running but im not sure why i had to CTRL-C to exit the program. I did not see "Press [ENTER] to continue..."

6. Move and Configure Redis-Server

---

7. Auto-Enable Redis-Server

---

---

8. Start Redis Server

---

Starting redis-server (via systemctl):
^C

This is where its stuck and i had to press CTRL-C to come out. Am i missing something?

Thanks for the script.

Just a couple tips in case it helps others.

I was using version 4.0.1 & Amazon Linux, and found redis-cli located at:
/usr/local/src/redis-$version/src/redis-cli
Instead of (line 62)
/usr/local/redis-$version/src/redis-cli

I also adjusted $PATH by adding the following in the ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/src/redis-4.0.1/src"
And finally I refreshed the change with
source ~/.bashrc

Now I can start the client any time with
redis-cli

@dleber, you don't need that since redis-server and redis-cli are copied to /usr/local/bin which should already be on your PATH. I don't know why the test text refers to the source directory. It should just say redis-cli without any path.

thank you very much.
非常感谢。
