Setting up redis cluster on Mac OS X via create-cluster script

Question

I want to set-up a redis cluster on Mac via the create-cluster script as mentioned in Cluster tutorial. I am not able to locate the create-cluster script on Mac.

I am using redis 3.2.0 installed via brew on Mac OS X 10.11.6 (15G31).

Can someone let me know where create-cluster script is located in Mac?

I'm on Mac 10.15.5, have installed the Redis 6.0.5 via brew, and don't see create-cluster script too within such installation.

So, I followed the following steps:

Donwload the latest manual installation, i.e. redis-%version%.tar from the official site.
Copy the folder utils from dowloaded archive to my local redis destination folder, i.e. /usr/local/Cellar/redis/6.0.5 in my case.
Change create-cluster file. There are settings inside: BIN_PATH="../../src/" to BIN_PATH="../../bin/" in order this cluster script can find the related redis scripts.
Follow the guide https://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial

For me it works now.

I was not able to create cluster via the redis installed via brew. So I did the following:-

Downloaded the latest version from Redis from here. In my case Redis 3.2.5
Then followed the installation instruction as mentioned here.
create-cluster is located inside $DOWNLOAD/redis-3.2.5/utils/create-cluster where $DOWNLOAD is the location where I downloaded and untar the redis.

create-cluster should exist with brew installation – K'' Apr 27 '18 at 18:31
@K'' Where would that be found? – wmute May 18 '18 at 15:56
@wmute i'm on high sierra 10.13.4 and i can find it under /Users/username/opt/redis-4.0.2/utils/create-cluster – K'' May 22 '18 at 22:23
Interesting. I don't see that on high sierra. I ended up using a Docker container which was much easier. – wmute May 23 '18 at 20:39
FYI, to run through __creat-cluster__ use `sh create-cluster start`, more info go https://redis.io/topics/cluster-tutorial and navigate to __Creating a Redis Cluster using the create-cluster script__ – roottraveller Jul 25 '19 at 14:21
Broken old redis tgz link. Use https://redis.io/download – Curtis Yallop Mar 03 '21 at 01:00
