Can I install and run Redis server with Python?

I am going through Django channel documentation(https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/part_2.html), at some point it advise to start redis server with docker as mention below,

We will use a channel layer that uses Redis as its backing store. To start a Redis server on port 6379, run the following command:

$ docker run -p 6379:6379 -d redis:5

However I skipped using docker so I dont know how to run above command.

Is there any way I can start redis server in virtualenv /pip ?

Well, no.
Redis (itself) is not a python package, therefore it can't be installed from pip (a python package manager).

From Redis' official website:

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker

Here is a very detailed guide on how to run and config a working Redis server on Ubuntu and CentOS (select the one suitable for you).
And if you're on Arch (I use Arch, btw), you can always visit the Wiki

Good luck!
