Redis Databse, Fresh Linux Install.

[zombie]

So I am doing the host myself on Digital ocean route.

I was following this guide.

Setting up a NodeBB Forum “for Dummies” | Burn after compiling

(burnaftercompiling.com)

And I got as far as the "setup" for nodeBB itself.

Then I get This error:

19/9 23:39 [4144] - error: Your Redis version is not new enough to support NodeBB

How do I go about updating the Redis version inside of this node

Redis will not update to the latest version on Ubuntu since (if I'm correct) it isn't updated to the latest version on apt-get, to fix this you need to uninstall redis and follow this guide to manually compile and install the new Redis version.

A simpler way to get a newer version:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install redis-server

Will attempt the simpler way posted by Julian here in the next hour.

I will update you, and thanks very much for help so far! Hope to gain some experience in node myself and be able to contribute back.

@julian @zombie for some reason my server decided to be evil and completly ignore the repository, thats why I included the manual compiling. Anyways good luck.
