## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that is widely used as a caching layer, message broker, and database. It is known for its speed, versatility, and support for a wide range of data structures. Redis is designed to deliver high-performance data access by storing data in memory, which allows for fast read and write operations. It supports various data types, including strings, lists, sets, hashes, and more, and provides a rich set of commands for manipulating and querying the data.

Redis is widely used in various use cases, including caching, session management, real-time analytics, leaderboards, task queues, and more. Its simplicity, speed, and flexibility make it a popular choice for developers who need a fast and reliable data store for their applications. In Threefold's ecosystem context, Redis can be used as a backend mechanism to communicate with the nodes on the ThreeFold Grid using the Reliable Message Bus.

## Install Redis

|
|
|

|
|
### Linux
|
||
|

|
||
|

If you don't find Redis in your Linux distro's package manager, check the [Redis downloads](https://redis.io/download) page for the source code and installation instructions.

### MacOS
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
On MacOS, [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) can be used to install Redis. The steps are as follow:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
brew update
|
||
|
|
brew install redis
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, it can be built from source, using the same [download page](https://redis.io/download/) as shown above.
