To compile Redis, do the following:

    cd src; make

The compilation will produce a redis-server binary.
Copy this file where you want.

Run the server using the following command line:

    /path/to/redis-server

This will start a Redis server with the default configuration.

Otherwise if you want to provide your configuration use:

    /path/to/redis-server /path/to/redis.conf

You can find an example redis.conf file in the root directory
of this source distribution.
