How do i perform a compile installation of redis?

[sorangutan]

Here the latest version is being used.

Make a directory for the installation.

$ cd $HOME
$ mkdir redis
$ cd redis

Download the latest redis tar package.

$ wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-4.0.10.tar.gz

Extract the tar archive.

$ redis ls

$ tar zxvf redis-4.0.10.tar.gz

$ cd redis-4.0.10 
$ ls

Make a conf directory and copy the default configuration file to it.

$ mkdir conf
$ cp redis.conf conf
$ ls conf
redis.conf

Compile the dependencies. Then cd one level up.

$ cd deps
$ make hiredis lua jemalloc linenoise
(cd hiredis && make clean) > /dev/null || true
(cd linenoise && make clean) > /dev/null || true
(cd lua && make clean) > /dev/null || true
(cd jemalloc && [ -f Makefile ] && make distclean) > /dev/null || true
(rm -f .make-*)
(echo "" > .make-cflags)
(echo "" > .make-ldflags)
MAKE hiredis
cd hiredis && make static

$ cd ..

Run make to install the binaries.

$ make PREFIX=/home/training/redis install
cd src && make install
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/training/redis/redis-4.0.10/src'
    CC Makefile.dep

Hint: It's a good idea to run 'make test' ;)

    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
    INSTALL install
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/training/redis/redis-4.0.10/src'

Verify the binaries have been created.

$ cd ../bin
$ bin ls
redis-benchmark  redis-check-rdb  redis-sentinel
redis-check-aof  redis-cli        redis-server
