redis-cli: Unrecognized option or bad number of args for: '–tls'

I’m trying to start a redis server with the support for tls. Based on the documentation (https://redis.io/topics/rediscli) I execute this command:

redis-cli -a xxxxxxxxx --tls --cacert ../config/certs/test-ca.crt

But it return this error:

Unrecognized option or bad number of args for: ‘–tls’

My redis-cli version is 6.0.9

I can’t figure out what am I missing. How can I fix this?

    When you performed make of the redis, you should run as:
    make BUILD_TLS=yes

    Install dependencies

    update package information from repo

    sudo apt update

    install build dependencies

    sudo apt install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev tcl libjemalloc-dev wget
Download and extract the redis-cli source file

    download the package

    wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

    extract the package

    tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

    go inside the extracted directory

    cd redis-stable

    Build with tls enabled

    remove previously generated build files

    make distclean

    build with tls option

    make BUILD_TLS=yes
Once completed you can validate the build and connect to Redis-server

    validate the redis-cli

    Redis-CLI -h localhost -p 6379 --tls

    localhost:6379> INFO SSL
