You can install recent stable versions of Redis from the official `packages.redis.io` APT repository.

If you're running a very minimal distribution (such as a Docker container) you may need to install `lsb-release`, `curl` and `gpg` first:
If you're running a very minimal distribution (such as a Docker container) you may need to install `lsb-release`, `curl` and `gpg`:

{{< highlight bash >}}
sudo apt install lsb-release curl gpg

{{% /alert %}}

Add the repository to the <code>apt</code> index, update it, and then install:
1. Add the repository to the <code>apt</code> and index the repository:

{{< highlight bash >}}
curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
{{< highlight bash >}}
curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg

1. Update and install redis:
{< highlight bash >}}
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis
{{< / highlight >}}

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis
{{< / highlight >}}
1. Verify that the installation is successful by checking the version of `redis-server` that is installed:
{{< highlight bash >}}
redis-server --version
{{< / highlight >}}

The output is similar to:
{{< highlight bash >}}
Redis server v=7.2.3 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-5.3.0 bits=64 build=7f52fd1717e1b756
{{< / highlight >}}

1. Verify that you are able to connect to the `redis-server` using `redis-cli`:
{{< highlight bash >}}
redis-cli ping
{{< / highlight >}}
If the connection is succesfful you get `PONG` in response.
