Answer 2

Yesterday, I installed Redis on my Vagrant box (/etc/php/7.0):

• sudo pecl install redis
• sudo service php7.0-fpm restart

(optional: run php -m for listing the php modules).

Now, you can use the Redis class in your php code.

I had to do some extra work: after sudo pecl install redis: echo "extension=redis.so" > /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/fpm/conf.d/20-redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.0/cli/conf.d/20-redis.ini. Then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart && sudo apache2ctl restart was successful. – Rhys

If you have PHP 7.3 with Nginx: then sudo pecl install redis: echo "extension=redis.so" > /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.3/fpm/conf.d/20-redis.ini && ln -sf /etc/php/7.3/mods-available/redis.ini /etc/php/7.3/cli/conf.d/20-redis.ini. Then sudo service php7.0-fpm restart & sudo service nginx restart – Capital

If you happen to be in a docker container just:

pecl install redis
docker-php-ext-enable redis

will do in most cases.

For people who are using MAMP, you want to execute the pecl installer from withing MAMP. This follows the installment from https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/blob/develop/INSTALL.markdown.

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.9/bin/pecl install redis

Change the php version to yours.

After successfully installing, will probably say something like this:

configuration option "php_ini" is not set to php.ini location
You should add "extension=redis.so" to php.ini

So you need to go to your php.ini, and add extension=redis.so.

For me, this folder is: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.3.9/conf/php.ini

After restarting your MAMP, you will see a redis module on this page (ports might not be the same): http://localhost:8888/MAMP/index.php?language=English&page=phpinfo

For Debian-based Linux distros you need a php-dev and pkg-php-tools packages for building native PHP extension from phpredis source code:

sudo apt update && \
    sudo apt install php-dev pkg-php-tools --yes && \
    sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net && \
    sudo pecl install redis

Answer 9

This GitHub is a great resource for MAMP users.

For Mac Users:

1. Download redis.so from the appropriate subdirectory of the repo based on major and minor version number X.Y (following semver).
2. Move the file to /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/phpX.Y.X/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-xxxxxxxx
3. Add extension=redis.so to the end of php.ini

Answer 10

Me using PHP8 with Nginx an this below command work for me.

wget https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis/archive/refs/tags/5.3.7.tar.gz
tar xf 5.3.7.tar.gz
cd phpredis-5.3.7
phpize
./configure
make
make install
echo “extension=redis.so” >> /etc/php.ini

To verify that phpredis was actived you can check in your php configuration like this.

php -i | grep redis

And dont remember to restart your PHP-FPM
