step4: Enable the Redis service to start at boot time.
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl enable redis.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/redis.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/redis.service.
Step 5: Start Redis service
[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl start redis.service
Step 6: Login to Redis CLI shell
[root@linuxhelp ~]# redis-cli
Step 7: Using Ping command in Redis Shell
127.0.0.1:6379> ping [hello]
"[hello]"
Step 8: Setting the string “hello” to the value “keys”
127.0.0.1:6379> set key hello
OK
Step 9: Getting the string in the value “keys”
127.0.0.1:6379> get key
"hello"
