php-redis on amazon linux 2

Question

I'm working to deploy a laravel application on an Amazon Linux 2 instance.

I'm getting this error:
Class "Redis" not found
and the last error in the stack trace:
vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Redis/Connectors/PhpRedisConnector.php:81

While looking around, it seems that the solution on CentOS and other "yum" distro's is to install php-redis.  I haven't been able to find any such package for the Amazon Linux AMI.

How can I install php-redis?

Answer

```
sudo yum update
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum install php-pecl-redis

php -i | grep Redis
Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 2.2.8
```
