How to Install the Latest Redis Server on CentOS 7

Redis is a powerful in-memory data store often used as a cache, message broker, or database. By default, CentOS 7 ships with an outdated version of Redis (usually 3.x), which lacks many modern features.
In this guide, you will learn two ways to install the latest Redis on CentOS 7:

  1. Install Redis from the Remi repository (easiest method).

  2. Build Redis from source code (for the absolute latest version).

Install Redis from Remi Repository (Recommended)

This is the easiest and most reliable way to install Redis on CentOS 7 with yum.

Step 1: Enable EPEL and Remi Repositories

sudo yum install epel-release -y
sudo yum install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm -y

Step 2: Install yum-utils

sudo yum install yum-utils -y

Step 3: Check Available Redis Versions

yum --enablerepo=remi list redis

Step 4: Install Redis (latest version available in Remi repo)

sudo yum --enablerepo=remi install redis -y

Step 5: Start and Enable Redis

sudo systemctl enable redis
sudo systemctl start redis

Step 6: Verify Installation

redis-server -v
