predisHow can I install and use Redis on a MacOS system with PHP?

To install and use Redis on a MacOS system with PHP, you can follow the steps below:

1. Install Homebrew (a package manager for MacOS) by running the command:

   /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2. Install Redis using Homebrew by running the command:

   brew install redis

3. Start Redis by running the command:

   brew services start redis

4. Install the PHP extension for Redis by running the command:

   pecl install redis

5. Enable the Redis extension in your php.ini file:

   extension=redis.so

6. Test the connection to Redis with a simple PHP script:

   <?php
   $redis = new Redis();
   $redis->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
   echo "Connection to server sucessfully";
   // Check if server is running
   echo "Server is running: " . $redis->ping();
   ?>

   Output:

   Connection to server sucessfully
   Server is running: +PONG

7. You can now use Redis with your PHP scripts!
