    vi ./install_server.sh

    comment it

    #bail if this system is managed by systemd
#_pid_1_exe="$(readlink -f /proc/1/exe)"
#if [ "${_pid_1_exe##*/}" = systemd ]
#then
#       echo "This systems seems to use systemd."
#       echo "Please take a look at the provided example service unit files in this directory, and adapt and install them. Sorry!"
#       exit 1

    Steps I followed to make it run in my system

    Comment out following lines in redis-stable/utils/instal_server.sh file

    #bail if this system is managed by systemd
#_pid_1_exe="$(readlink -f /proc/1/exe)"
#if [ "${_pid_1_exe##*/}" = systemd ]
#then
#       echo "This systems seems to use systemd."
#       echo "Please take a look at the provided example service unit files in this directory, and adapt and install them. Sorry!"
#       exit 1
#fi

    After this, you need to install tcl tk

    for ubuntu: sudo apt-get install -y tcl tk

    for RedHat: sudo yum install tcl tk

    then inside redis-stable/src
    run sudo make install

    if it shows error like
    Hint: It's a good idea to run 'make test' ;)

    go back to redis-stable and run make distclean and again sudo make install

    Finally, run the server by running redis-server

    Atlast to check if Redis is working: redis-cli ping

    I assume your question is, "What the heck does this error message mean, and how might I install redis successfully?"

    Error message interpretation

    It sounds like the ./install_server.sh is not meant to be used for installation on Linux distributions using systemd. What is systemd? For your purpose, you just need to think of it as, "the mother of all processes." Credit to opensource.com for that one.

    When you are installing redis on a machine that uses systemd, redis seems to want you to install redis as a "service" managed by systemd.

    To do that, my personal experience with other systemd services has taught me that one can try to preparing a "service unit file" for systemd. And then:

    1. Reload systemd configuration systemctl daemon-reload
    2. Enable the new service unit systemctl enable something
    3. Start the new service unit systemctl start something

    I’ve used Debian so my service unit file went under /etc/systemd.

    Comment out following lines and run (./install_server.sh) with root.

    #bail if this system is managed by systemd
#_pid_1_exe="$(readlink -f /proc/1/exe)"
#if [ "${_pid_1_exe##*/}" = systemd ]
#then
#       echo "This systems seems to use systemd."
#       echo "Please take a look at the provided example service unit files in this directory, and adapt and install them. Sorry!"
#       exit 1
#fi
