How to use Redis with Valet

I have Redis installed via Homebrew and running as a brew service with no issues. I have Homebrew install 7.2.5 working without issue as well. However, if you were relying on PECL prior to the Homebrew changes, you will have issues since it is not included any longer. I am using the most current version of Valet as well.

Try this brew install homebrew/core/php because the other install were deprecated.

It looks like the homebrew/core/php now includes the PECL installation; See below

→ brew list php | grep pecl
/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.2.5/bin/pecl
/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.2.5/pecl
/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.2.5/share/php/pear/.channels/.alias/pecl.txt
/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.2.5/share/php/pear/.channels/pecl.php.net.reg
/usr/local/Cellar/php/7.2.5/share/php/pear/peclcmd.php

→ pecl version
PEAR Version: 1.10.5
PHP Version: 7.2.5
Zend Engine Version: 3.2.0

→ brew --version
Homebrew 1.6.2
Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision b4fa; last commit 2018-04-27)

However, I can also confirm installing redis and getting it to work with Valet is very simple;

Thanks for the replies. I got it working, it was really simple. I had never heard of PECL before but this blog post helped me. https://andygrunwald.com/blog/migrate-your-local-php-7.2-setup-to-homebrew-v1.5./

Okay so I restarted my computer and redis is no longer working.

I ran pecl install redis, and it says it's already installed.

So just not sure how to actually "start" redis now.
