Rails 4 and configuring Sidekiq

This has been asked many times before but I haven't found any solutions to my exact problem. I have a Rails 4 app and I have installed SideKiq to handle backgroud email processing. i have followed the basic instructions but keep getting a long error when I run

       bundle exec sidekiq

The main portion of the error is 

    Redis::CannotConnectError: Error connecting to Redis on 127.0.0.1:6379 (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

This is pretty self-explanatory however it does appear to say in the documentation how to resolve this (unless I have misread). Clearly my set up wrong. I have tried adding a sidekiq.rb file with

   redis = { url: (ENV['REDIS_URL'] || 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379'), namespace: 'sidekiq' }

   Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
     config.redis = redis
   end

   Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
     config.redis = redis
   end

But no luck. Help wold be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you even installed redis?

You can check with redis-cli ping.

It seems the Sidekiq docs assume you have Redis running already.

brew install redis if you are using HomeBrew, or check out the RailsCast.
