## Quick start with Docker

The fastest way to run Redis is with Docker:


docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis


See the [Docker page](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/docker) for full details, including data persistence, custom configuration, and connecting with `redis-cli`.

## Install on your platform

<script>
(function () {
  function detectPlatformIndex() {
    var ua = (navigator.userAgent || '').toLowerCase();
    var pl = (navigator.platform || '').toLowerCase();
    if (pl.indexOf('mac') !== -1 || ua.indexOf('mac os') !== -1) return 1;
    if (pl.indexOf('win') !== -1 || ua.indexOf('windows') !== -1) return 2;
    return 0;
  }
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    var idx = detectPlatformIndex();
    if (idx > 0) {
      var radio = document.getElementById('install-by-platform-tab-' + idx);
      if (radio) radio.checked = true;
    }
  });
})();
</script>

You can also download [Redis Insight](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/redisinsight/install/), a free developer companion tool with an intuitive GUI and advanced CLI, which you can use alongside Redis Open Source.
