## 4. Download and extract the Redis source

The Redis source code is available from the [Download](https://redis.io/downloads) page. You can verify the integrity of these downloads by checking them against the digests in the [redis-hashes git repository](https://github.com/redis/redis-hashes).
The Redis source code is available from [the Redis GitHub site](https://github.com/redis/redis/releases). Select the release you want to build and select the .tar.gz file from the **Assets** drop down menu. You can verify the integrity of these downloads by checking them against the digests in the [redis-hashes GitHub repository](https://github.com/redis/redis-hashes).

Copy the tar(1) file to `/usr/src`.

Alternatively, you can download the file directly using the `wget` command, as shown below.

```
cd /usr/src
wget -O redis-<version>.tar.gz https://github.com/redis/redis/archive/refs/tags/<version>.tar.gz
```

Replace `<version>` with the three-digit Redis release number, for example `8.0.0`.

Extract the source:

```bash
cd /usr/src
tar xvf redis.tar.gz
rm redis.tar.gz
tar xvf redis-<version>.tar.gz
rm redis-<version>.tar.gz
```
