Install Redis on OpenSUSE Leap 15.4

since there is no Redis official package for OpenSUSE Leap 15.4, it is difficult for us to install Redis on this Linux. I tried several ways to install Redis, including via Snap. But both of them did not work. Finally, I tried install Redis by complying from the source.

Steps for installing Redis

First, we need to download Redis source package as we can find on the official website.

To obtain the source files for the latest stable version of Redis from the Redis downloads site, run:

wget https://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

Compiling Redis

To compile Redis, first the tarball, change to the root directory, and then run make:

tar -xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make

However, we got the error 127 and error 2.

To solve the errors, we need to install gcc, run sudo zypper install gcc

Then, we try make again.

This time, we got error 1. To solve this issue, we need to change the settings.

First, we need to run vi src/.make-settings

In the Vim document, we need to change the OPT=-02 to OPT=-march=x86-64

Then press esc key, and type :wp and enter.

Try make again, we can compile the source code successfully this time.

As suggested, we need to run make test

In the directory of Redis, run sudo make install

Run cd src to go to the source folder, then run ./redis-server ../redis.conf to start the Redis server as below.
