    brew install redis

    Set up launchctl to auto start `redis`

    $ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    `/usr/local/opt/redis/` is a symlink to `/usr/local/Cellar/redis/x.y.z` (e.g., `2.8.7`)

    You can use launchctl to start and stop `redis`

    $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
    $ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist

    You can also more conveniently use `brew` to start, stop, and verify service status

    $ brew services list | grep redis
    $ brew services start redis
    $ brew services stop redis

    ## Notes

    The default plist provided by homebrew stores the redis configuration at `/usr/local/etc/redis.conf`.
