How do I set up Redis with Django?

To set up Redis with Django, you'll need to install the Redis server and the Django Redis package. Would you like step-by-step instructions?

Yes, please provide the steps.

First, install Redis on your system. Then, install the Django Redis package using pip: pip install django-redis. Next, configure your Django settings to use Redis as the cache backend.

What should I add to my Django settings?

In your settings.py, add the following:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}

Is there anything else I need to do?

Make sure your Redis server is running, and you can test the setup by using Django's cache framework to store and retrieve data.
