I haven't had any luck with make setup and make build and make install. Could you instruct me as to how I can install say 7.2-rc2 on Ubuntu ?

Hello @hypo-thesis

The instructions for building Redis from source can be found at https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/installation/install-redis-from-source/

What's the output of the make command?

It doesn't work because I get Redis 7.1.241 (00000000/0) 64 bit after wget https://github.com/redis/redis/archive/7.2-rc2.tar.gz and makeand make install ... I am still unable to see 7.2

To install pre-releases of Redis, you can follow these steps:

  1. Visit the Redis GitHub repository's "releases" page: https://github.com/redis/redis/releases

  2. Scroll down to find the pre-release version you want to install. Pre-releases are marked with "rc" (release candidate) or "pre" in their version name.

  3. Download the source code or pre-compiled binaries for your preferred operating system and architecture. Usually, pre-releases provide pre-compiled binaries for popular platforms like Linux, macOS, and Windows in addition to the source code.

  4. Extract the downloaded files if necessary.

  5. If you downloaded source code, navigate to the extracted directory using the command line.

  6. Follow the instructions in the Redis documentation to build and install Redis. Typically, this involves running the make command to compile the source code and then using the make install command to install Redis.

make make install

7.If you downloaded pre-compiled binaries, make sure to place the Redis executables in a location that is included in your system's PATH environment variable.

8.Once installed, you can start using the pre-release version of Redis by running the redis-server command.

@47295743 we don't provide binaries in this repo. we do maintain snap, ppa, and apt repositories, but don't include pre-releases there.

in any case, @hypo-thesis, 7.1.241 is 7.2., that's 7.2-RC2. if we would have tagged it 7.2.0, then we would not be able to distinguish between that and the GA release. if you get some error from make, please share it here.
