The Redis server package is available in the standard Debian repositories. This article covers installing Redis on Debian and Debian derivatives (such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint). To install Redis:

Log in as root:
```
sudo su
```
Update the package lists:
```
apt-get update
```
Install Redis:
```
apt-get install redis-server
```
Enable Redis to run as a systemd service. To do this:
1. Open redis.conf in a text editor as root. For example, use the Nano text editor:
```
nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
```
2. Locate the "supervised no" entry. Replace the entry with "supervised systemd."
3. Save changes and exit the editor.
4. Restart the Redis server.
```
systemctl restart redis-server
```
5. Log out from your root session:
```
exit
```
