## Install Redis 2.8 in Debian 7
Redis 2.8 is included in the Debian Wheezy [backports] repository.
1. Edit `/etc/apt/sources.list` and add the following line:
```
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main
```
1. Update the repositories:
```
sudo apt-get update
```
1. Install `redis-server`:
```
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install redis-server

## Install Redis 2.8 in Ubuntu 12.04
We will [use a PPA](https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/ubuntu/redis-server)
to install a recent version of Redis.
1. Install the PPA repository:
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server

Your system will now fetch the PPA's key. This enables your Ubuntu system to
verify that the packages in the PPA have not been interfered with since they
were built.
