I am trying to install Redis on centos 6.5 (x64) with following line:

yum install redis

But I am getting following screen:

[root@NodeJs ~]# yum install redis
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

How can I resolve this problem ?

You installed the EPEL repository for EL7, but you are actually running EL6. Remove the epel-release package, i.e., sudo yum search epel && sudo yum remove epel-release and replace it with the correct package.

According to this documentation Redis could be installed on CentOS6 by issuing the following commands:

// --- Compiling ---
$ wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-2.8.3.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf redis-2.8.3.tar.gz
$ cd redis-2.8.3
$ make
$ make install

// --- or using yum ---
$ rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
$ rpm -Uvh http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

$ yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install redis
