# Install Redis on old distributions
|
||
|
|
||
|
GitLab requires at least Redis 2.8. The following guide is for Debian 7 and
|
||
|
Ubuntu 12.04. If you are using Debian 8 or Ubuntu 14.04 and up, follow the
|
||
|
[installation guide](installation.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install Redis 2.8 in Debian 7
|
||
|
|
||
|
Redis 2.8 is included in the Debian Wheezy [backports] repository.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Edit `/etc/apt/sources.list` and add the following line:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Update the repositories:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Install `redis-server`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install redis-server
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Follow the rest of the [installation guide](installation.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Install Redis 2.8 in Ubuntu 12.04
|
||
|
|
||
|
We will [use a PPA](https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/ubuntu/redis-server)
|
||
|
to install a recent version of Redis.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Install the PPA repository:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your system will now fetch the PPA's key. This enables your Ubuntu system to
|
||
|
verify that the packages in the PPA have not been interfered with since they
|
||
|
were built.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Update the repositories:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Install `redis-server`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
sudo apt-get install redis-server
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Follow the rest of the [installation guide](installation.md).
