qiita: Install instructions give error at step to install redis on mac

give the command brew install homebrew/versions/redis28 but Homebrew 4.1.4 (current version as of 08/11/2023) gives the error: Error: homebrew/versions was deprecated. This tap is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated.

@charles-cowart has indicated that it should be ok to use the latest version of redis instead (current up around 7.0), in which case the command in the install could change to: brew install redis

I think those are the redis tests, the earlier question was w.r.t. the redbiom test suite though?

doh! You’re right, they were the webdis tests. Wrong directory.

Finally getting back to this.

Is it possible to let homebrew install whatever the newest version of redis is? If yes, would everyone agree that this could be a good solution for this issue? If not, what could it be a good solution?

Agreed, it works for me as well. I believe ‘brew install redis’ will install the latest by default.

Works for me 😃

These may be the fastest issue responses I’ve ever seen 😃 😃

@charles-cowart, could you verify the redbiom test suite works with 7.0? It would be great if that is the case. On production I think we’re using 3.2.6

@AmandaBirmingham, redis is also available from conda-forge
