Notes from working through the outstanding tutorial at https://spring.io/guides/tutorials/spring-security-and-angular-js
Based on http://grainier.net/how-to-install-redis-in-ubuntu/ and http://redis.io/topics/quickstart
Dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install tcl8.5
Build and install:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
make test
sudo make install
Start it up:
sudo redis-server
If it works, call it a day:
redis-cli ping
which should return
PONG
Basic Redis commands are introduced here: http://redis.io/topics/data-types-intro - helpful to make sure your application is actually using Redis.
