Create the file `/etc/yum.repos.d/redis.repo` with the following contents.\n\n    - For Rocky Linux 9 and AlmaLinux 9\n    \n    [Redis]\n    name=Redis\n    baseurl=http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux9\n    enabled=1\n    gpgcheck=1\n    \n\n    - For Rocky Linux 8 and AlmaLinux 8\n    \n    [Redis]\n    name=Redis\n    baseurl=http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux8\n    enabled=1\n    gpgcheck=1\n    \n\n2. Run the following commands:\n\n    \n    curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg > /tmp/redis.key\n    sudo rpm --import /tmp/redis.key\n    sudo yum install redis\n    \n\nRedis will not start automatically, nor will it start at boot time.
