I need to install redis in amazon cloud. I need it as a part of my npm module kue (deployment). Can anyone link me step by step tutorial or explain how to do it, considering the fact that I'm not good to bad with linux and administration.

If you enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository that's present on Amazon Linux, you can install with yum.

sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel
sudo yum install redis
# Start redis server
sudo redis-server /etc/redis.conf
