## Step 1 Install Redis
In first step, we install Redis for this I let you two great tutorials for MacOsx and Linux.
Ubuntu 16.04
MacOsx
## Step 2 Config Enviroment
In this step we will config our `.env` file, add **redis** into *QUEUE\_DRIVER* variable also change the REDIS\_ variables, finally config the e-mail service. I recomend [Mailtrap](https://mailtrap.io/) to test.
```
QUEUE_DRIVER=redisREDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=user
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
```
## Step 3 Install Redis Driver
We need install Redis driver in to the project, using bellow command, So open your terminal or command prompt and run bellow command:
```
composer require predis/predis
```
## Step 4 Run the Queue Worker
To test the queues in your local machine need run the queue worker, so run bellow command:
```
php artisan queue:work
```
You see in the terminal when the notification is processed
## Step 5 Install and Configure supervisor
> This step is used for production mode in your Linux server.
Install supervisor with the next command:
```
sudo apt-get install supervisor
```
Enter to folder `config.d`
```
cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d
```
Create config file
```
sudo nano laravel-worker.conf
```
Into the file write the next code lines
```
[program:laravel-worker]process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02dcommand=php /var/www/project_name/artisan queue:work redis --sleep=3 --tries=3autostart=trueautorestart=trueuser=www-datanumprocs=8redirect_stderr=truestdout_logfile=/var/www/project_name/storage/logs/worker.logstopwaitsecs=3600
```
Starting Supervisor
Once the configuration file has been created, you may update the Supervisor configuration and start the processes using the following commands:
```
sudo supervisorctl rereadsudo supervisorctl updatesudo supervisorctl start laravel-worker:*
```
> Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to quick run:
```
php artisan serve
```
## Tests
Now, we can simple test by rest client tools (Postman), So I test it and you can see below screenshots.
> In this api you have to set two header as listed below:
