title: Laravel: How to start redis on mac?
body: <p>I am trying to get redis working in my Laravel project on Mac.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I did so far:</p>
  
  <p>1) I ran "composer require predis/predis" succesfully</p>
  
  <p>2) I can see the predis folder in vendor folder</p>
  
  <p>3) My CACHE_DRIVER has been set to redis in the cache.php and .env file</p>
  
  <p>When I try to run redis in my project, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Connection refused [tcp://127.0.0.1:6379]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Based on what I read online, it seems like my redis server is not started. How can I start it?</p>
