You can install [Redis Open Source]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/" >}}) locally on your machine. Redis Open Source is available on Docker, Linux, macOS, and Windows (using Docker only).

You can also download [Redis Insight]({{< relref "/operate/redisinsight/install/" >}}), a free dev companion tool with an intuitive GUI and advanced CLI, which you can use alongside Redis Open Source.

Here are the installation and upgrade instructions:

* [Install Redis Open Source]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack" >}})
* [Upgrade Redis Open Source]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/install/upgrade" >}})

While you can install Redis Open Source locally, you might also consider using Redis Cloud by creating a [free account](https://redis.com/try-free/?utm_source=redisio&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=2023-09-try_free&utm_content=cu-redis_cloud_users). Redis 8 is not yet available on Redis Cloud.
