Installing Heroku and Redis

Install Heroku

To run experiments locally or on the internet, you will need the Heroku Command Line Interface installed, version 3.28.0 or better. If you want to launch experiments on the internet, then you will also need a Heroku.com account, however this is not needed for local debugging.

To check which version of the Heroku CLI you have installed, run:

heroku --version

The Heroku CLI is available for download from heroku.com.

Install Redis

Debugging experiments requires you to have Redis installed and the Redis server running.

OSX

brew install redis

Start Redis on OSX with:

brew services start redis

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y redis-server

Start Redis on Ubuntu with:

sudo service redis-server start

You can find more details and other installation instructions at redis.com.
