==> Caveats
If this is your first install, automatically load on login with:
    mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    cp /usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.2.8/io.redis.redis-server.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.redis.redis-server.plist

If this is an upgrade and you already have the io.redis.redis-server.plist loaded:
    launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.redis.redis-server.plist
    cp /usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.2.8/io.redis.redis-server.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.redis.redis-server.plist

  To start redis manually:
    redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis.conf

  To access the server:
    redis-cli
