Here’s a 30 second guide to getting started with Redis (linux only):
```
$ wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.2.11.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf redis-2.2.11.tar.gz
$ cd redis-2.2.11/
$ make
$ ./src/redis-server
```
Note: To install the dependencies on debian linux, install the software in the make section of debian install.

And that’s it - you now have a Redis server running on port 6379…

Alternatively just install from the Debian repositories:
```
apt-get install redis-server
```
See Configuration for configuration information e.g. how to enable remote access to a Redis server.
To use the redis server from a python client, see python.
