This guide installs Redis on Kali Linux. Redis is an open source in memory data store used as a cache, message broker, or fast key value database, with structures such as lists, sets, and hashes.

Because it keeps data in memory, Redis is very fast, which makes it popular for caching and real time features. The install is a short series of apt commands followed by starting the service.
