Install and configure redisctl CLI for Redis Cloud, Enterprise, and direct database access. Use when setting up redisctl for the first time, creating profiles, or configuring shell completions.
## Overview redisctl is a unified CLI for managing Redis Cloud, Redis Enterprise, and direct Redis database connections. This skill covers installation, profile setup, and validation. ## Installation Choose one method: ```bash # Homebrew (macOS/Linux) brew install redis/homebrew-tap/redisctl # Cargo (from source) cargo install redisctl # Docker docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/redis/redisctl --help ``` ## Profile Setup Profiles store connection credentials. Use the interactive wizard for guided setup: ```bash redisctl profile init ``` Or create profiles directly: ### Redis Cloud Profile ```bash redisctl profile set cloud-prod \ --type cloud \ --api-key "$REDIS_CLOUD_API_KEY" \ --api-secret "$REDIS_CLOUD_API_SECRET" redisctl profile default-cloud cloud-prod ``` ### Redis Enterprise Profile ```bash redisctl profile set ent-staging \ --type enterprise \ --url "https://cluster.internal:9443" \ --username admin \ --password "$RE_PASSWORD" redisctl profile default-enterprise ent-staging ``` ### Direct Database Profile ```bash redisctl profile set local-redis \ --type database \ --url "redis://localhost:6379" redisctl profile default-database local-redis ``` ## Validation After creating profiles, verify connectivity: ```bash # List all profiles redisctl profile list # Show a specific profile redisctl profile show cloud-prod # Validate connectivity for all profiles redisctl profile validate ``` ## Shell Completions Generate completions for your shell: ```bash # Bash redisctl completions bash > ~/.bash_completion.d/redisctl # Zsh redisctl completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_redisctl # Fish redisctl completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/redisctl.fish ``` ## Common Issues - **Credential errors**: Check that environment variables are set and profile type matches the command namespace (cloud profile for cloud commands, etc.) - **Enterprise TLS errors**: Use `--insecure` flag for self-signed certificates during setup - **Config file location**: Run `redisctl profile path` to find the config file
