predisHow to install Redis on Red Hat 8 using PHP?

1. Install the Redis package from the Red Hat 8 repository:

sudo dnf install redis

2. Start the Redis service:

sudo systemctl start redis

3. Check the status of the Redis service:

sudo systemctl status redis

Output example

● redis.service - Redis persistent key-value database
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/redis.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2020-07-09 11:30:50 UTC; 1min ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/redis.service
