Installation

Installing Redis Sniffer can be done several different ways. Redis Sniffer must either be installed on a redis server or on the server that is communicating with a redis server,

The fastest and easiest way is to add out apt repo and install with aptitude. We do have a yum repo that will be going live in mid September.

Install on Debian based linux distributions

Add our apt key

wget -O - http://apt.eternalprojects.com/conf/apt.eternalprojects.com.gpg.key|apt-key add -

Now we add the repo to our sources.list file and then install Redis Sniffer.

echo "deb http://apt.eternalprojects.com/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-sniffer

This method will install all the required dependencies.

Install via pip

When installing with pip or with setuptools, there are 2 system dependency packages that need to be installed before Redis Sniffer.

sudo apt-get -y libpcap-dev python-dev
sudo pip install pypcap
sudo pip install dpkt
sudo pip install redis-sniffer

Install with setup tools

You also have the option to get the source and do a manual install using Python's setup tools.

sudo apt-get -y install libpcap-dev python-dev
git clone https://github.com/eternalprojects/redis-sniffer.git
cd redis-sniffer
sudo python setup.py install
sudo python setup.py install --user
