Installation of Redis Stack on an Apple MacBook with Apple M1 chip

[Christian Neumann]

Hello,

I would like to install Redis Stack 7.2 and have downloaded the zip file for macOS / arm64.

Filename: redis-stack-server-7.2.0-v6.monterey.arm64.zip

I don't want to use Homebrew. That is why the Homebrew folders are not present.

The start of redis-stack-server does not work.

According to my analysis, however, there is only one small problem, which I will describe below.

The start generates the following error message:

Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib/libssl.3.dylib

Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib/libcrypto.3.dylib

/usr/lib/libssl.3.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)

...

The files are referenced here:

Referenced from: ... /opt/redis-stack-server-7.2.0/bin/redis-server

The problem is that when redis-stack-server is started, it searches for the files in the /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/lib and /usr/lib directories, but neither file exists.

Where are the files?

I have installed MySQL under /opt/mysql-8.0.35 and /opt/mysql-8.0.35/lib contains both files, for example.

The two files in /opt/mysql-8.0.35/lib cannot be copied to /usr/lib, as System Integrity Protection is normally switched on and would have to be switched off.

However, we can avoid the error with a symlink:

ln -s /opt/mysql-8.0.35/lib /opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3

This allows redis-stack-server or redis-server to find the desired files.

Summary:

MySQL or Python 3, for example, deliver the two files in a lib subdirectory.

Is it possible that Redis Stack is also delivered with a lib subdirectory and the two files?

redis-server will then have to search for the two files in this subdirectory as well.

Then everything would work perfectly, even without Homebrew.

Best regards,

Christian Neumann
