How can I run Redis in the background?

I need Redis running while I work on a particular codebase. I often open a new terminal and run it there. How can I run it in the background?

I know this is an old question but I am answering just for the reference.

You need to set daemonize yes from daemonize no in your redis.conf

Use redis-server &

On Linus or OSX, an easy way to run a process in the background is to follow the command with &.

You can see that it's still running with ps -ef | grep redis (or pgrep redis-server) and stop it with pkill redis-server.
