# Redis for Workflows

> Store workflow sessions in Redis with RedisDb.

Agno supports using Redis as a storage backend for Workflows using the `RedisDb` class.

## Usage

Install dependencies:

```shell theme={null}
uv pip install agno redis openai ddgs
```

### Run Redis

Install [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/get-docker/), then start Redis on port `6379`:

```bash theme={null}
docker run --name my-redis -p 6379:6379 -d redis
```

Export your OpenAI API key:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Mac/Linux theme={null}
  export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
  ```

  ```powershell Windows theme={null}
  $Env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
  ```
</CodeGroup>
