How To Install Redis On macOS Sierra Public Beta

I am attempting to install Redis using Homebrew for an app project. Homebrew IS installed and has been updated to its latest version. However, when I run $ brew install redis from the terminal, I am always met with the same error message, reposted below.

➜  ~ git:(master) ✗ brew install redis

The error message says gives a warning saying only that support is not offered for my Mac OS X version (10.12), not explicitly that it cannot be installed. However, attempting to run brew services start redis returns the following message:

➜  nodj git:(JobsPage) ✗ brew services start redis
Service `redis` already started, use `brew services restart redis` to restart.

The above leads me to believe it IS installed. And, yet, running brew info redis returns

➜  nodj git:(JobsPage) ✗ brew info redis
redis: stable 3.2.3, HEAD
Persistent key-value database, with built-in net interface
http://redis.io/
Not installed
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/redis.rb
==> Options
--with-jemalloc
    Select jemalloc as memory allocator when building Redis
--HEAD
    Install HEAD version
==> Caveats
To have launchd start redis now and restart at login:
  brew services start redis
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

Is there any alternative/workaround to getting Redis up and running (preferably without needing to revert to a prior stable OS release:

just use this command to start Redis servers:

redis-server

or

sudo redis-server

If you want to check the version of Redis, just use this command:

redis-cli --version

or

redis-server --version

If your mac system is too low. Or if your Xcode software version is too low.

Or even if your homebrew does not support downloading Nginx (because homebrew requires you to upgrade the computer system and Xcode software version, but you don’t want it, you just don’t!)

Also, if you want to mannually download Redis, please reference this: https://gist.github.com/SofijaErkin/6fa0d09afb062518794528c5e77a748f
