Each time you hit it you’ll receive points and when you’ve hit the ball a certain number of times, it’ll get faster. The game is over when the ball leaves the screen at the bottom. Mac Pong is a simple Pong game from 1986 by David O'Connor. Compatibility Architecture: 68k Requires either a slow 68k Mac or a speed throttle otherwise it runs too quickly to be playable.

Redis is an open-source data storage solution. It is primarily used as a database, cache storage, or message broker due to the way it stores key-value pairs.

Redis stands out with its flexibility and high performance, wide language support, and high availability.

In this tutorial, you will learn several ways to install and configure Redis on your Mac computer.

  • A system running macOS Catalina
  • Access to the terminal window
  • A user with admin-level privileges

There are two ways to install Redis on Mac:

      • Installing Redis from scratch.
      • Using package management software, like Homebrew.

Homebrew automates most of the installation process, making it quick and easy to add Redis to your system. It also provides more options when configuring Redis, and makes uninstalling it a lot simpler.

If you don’t have Homebrew, install it with the following command:

If you already have a copy of Homebrew installed, update it by using:

With an up-to-date version of Homebrew, install Redis by using the command:

Using this command produces the following output:

The second method enables you to install Redis on Mac without Homebrew.

To install Redis without Homebrew, use the following commands:

Where:

  • mkdir redis && cd redis – Creates a folder called ‘redis’ and moves you to the newly created folder.
  • curl -O http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz – Downloads the Redis installation archive.
  • tar xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz – Unpacks the ‘redis-stable‘ installation archive.
  • cd redis-stable – Moves you to the ‘redis-stable’ folder.

The remaining commands install the Redis software.

Note: NoSQL databases, like Redis, are meant to run efficiently in distributed clusters that scale out horizontally. Using Docker to deploy Redis in a container makes horizontal scaling a routine, straightforward process.

Depending on the installation method used, there are two ways to launch Redis on your system.

If you installed Redis using Homebrew, use Homebrew to launch it:

If you installed Redis without Homebrew, use the following code:

Modify your Redis instance by using the commands listed below.
