apt-get install redis-server

took only a few seconds to install

To access the command prompt client, type:

redis-cli

service redis-server stop
service redis-server start
/etc/init.d/redis-server restart

redis-server -t && service redis-server reload

set cleveland "browns"
get cleveland
delete cleveland
set counter 0
incr counter
get counter
setnx something "whatever" (sets a key only if it does not already exist)

A list is a series of ordered values. Some of the important commands for interacting with lists are RPUSH, LPUSH, LLEN, LRANGE, LPOP, and RPOP. You can immediately begin working with a key as a list, as long as it doesn't already exist as a different type.

Simple strings, sets and sorted sets already get a lot done but there is one more data type Redis can handle: Hashes.

Hashes are maps between string fields and string values, so they are the perfect data type to represent objects (eg: A User with a number of fields like name, surname, age, and so forth):

HSET user:1000 name "John Smith"
HSET user:1000 email "john.smith@example.com"
HSET user:1000 password "s3cret"

To get back the saved data use HGETALL:

HGETALL user:1000

You can also set multiple fields at once:

HMSET user:1001 name "Mary Jones" password "hidden" email "mjones@example.com"

If you only need a single field value that is possible as well:

HGET user:1001 name => "Mary Jones"

Numerical values in hash fields are handled exactly the same as in simple strings and there are operations to increment this value in an atomic way.

HSET user:1000 visits 10
HINCRBY user:1000 visits 1 => 11
HINCRBY user:1000 visits 10 => 21
HDEL user:1000 visits
HINCRBY user:1000 visits 1 => 1

Check the full list of Hash commands for more information.

PhP

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-12-04

For MySQL

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

For PhP

sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

Didn't do anything because apparently, it was already installed, but I don't remember when I did that, unless something else installed it. I assume the 'F' part is for FastCGI, and when I installed FastCGI, I guess it already installed this package.

Follow the instructions given at the above Digital Ocean web page for the PhP section.
