  "content": "This guide helps you install Redis Enterprise Software on a Linux host to test its capabilities.\n\nWhen finished, you'll have a simple cluster with a single node:\n\n1. [Ensure port availability](#ensure-port-availability)\n\n1. [Install Redis Enterprise Software](#install-redis-enterprise-software)\n\n1. [Set up a Redis Enterprise Software cluster](#set-up-a-cluster)\n\n1. [Create a new Redis database](#create-a-database)\n\n1. [Connect to your Redis database](#connect-to-your-database)\n\n\n**This quickstart is designed for local testing only.**\nFor production environments, see the [install and setup]() guide for deployment options and instructions.\n\n\n## Ensure port availability\n\n\n\n### Update `sysctl.conf` to avoid port collisions\n\n\n\n### OS conflicts with port 53\n\n\n\n\n### Configuration for AWS and GCP\n\nFor detailed configuration instructions, see your cloud provider's documentation.\n\n1. Create a VPC that you can use with regional subnets.\n\n1. Within this VPC, create firewall rules that allow external and internal access for Redis Enterprise Software.\n\n\n| Ingress/Egress   | Source                                             | Protocol  | Ports                                    | Other protocols  |\n|------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-----------|------------------------------------------|------------------|\n| Ingress          | 0.0.0.0/0                                          | TCP       | 21, 22, 53, 8001, 8443, 9443, 8070, \u003cnobr\u003e10000-19999\u003c/nobr\u003e | ICMP             |\n| Ingress          | 0.0.0.0/0                                          | UDP       | 53, 5353                                  |                  |\n| Ingress          | 10.0.0.0/8  (if subnets use 10. ranges) | all       | all                                      |                  | \n\n\n## Install Redis Enterprise Software\n\nTo install Redis Enterprise Software:\n\n1. Download the installation files from the [Redis Enterprise Download Center](https://redis.io/downloads/#software)\nand copy the download package to a machine with a Linux-based OS. \n\n    \nYou are required to create a free account to access the download center.\n    \n\n1. Extract the installation files:\n\n    ```sh\n    tar vxf \u003cdownloaded tar file name\u003e\n    ```\n\n1. Run the `install.sh` script in the current directory:\n\n    ```sh\n    sudo ./install.sh -y\n    ```\n\n## Set up a cluster\n\nTo set up your machine as a Redis Enterprise Software cluster:\n\n\n\n## Create a database\n\n\n\n## Connect to your database\n\nAfter you create the Redis database, you can connect to it and store data.\nSee [Test client connection]() for connection options and examples.\n\n## Supported web browsers\n\nTo use the Redis Enterprise Software Cluster Manager UI, you need a modern browser with JavaScript enabled.\n \nThe Cluster Manager UI is officially supported for the latest version of [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), as well as the three previous and three subsequent versions.\n\n## Continue learning with Redis University\n\n\n\n",
