AWS redis-cli on EC2

Setup redis-cli on AWS EC2

SSH into your EC2 instance. Run the following:

$ sudo yum install gcc This may return an "already installed" message. That's OK.

$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make

See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/GettingStarted.ConnectToCacheNode.Redis.html

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

Thanks! 🚀

This is the way!! Thanks @amitsaxena

Very Simple:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-tools

For Amazon Linux/RedHat-based Systems
sudo yum install redis
