make cmd not working on linux system [RediSearch Installation] about redisearch

Thank You! The problem is resolved, I Switched my WSL from 18.04 to 22.04 and followed all your steps.

Hi @Serinkaushik, please try the following to install the dependencies in your system.
The bash script will add some repositories and will update gcc and python alternatives.

cd .install
bash ubuntu_18.04.sh
cd ..
make

Hello @nafraf! Bunch of dependencies were installed after the bash script even though encountering the same error.

Could you check if you have the submodules? To download them:
git submodule update --init --progress --recursive

Sorry to disturb you @nafraf, Now make cmd is working but the next step make setup is not working and it is throwing up an error as ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg' . Tried every other solution available on the web but nothing worked. Also attaching the screenshot of it.

Hi @Serinkaushik! If the make cmd worked without errors, then you can find the module in ./bin/linux-x64-release/search/redisearch.so
And you can start redis server loading the module:
redis-server --loadmodule ./bin/linux-x64-release/search/redisearch.so

It says module failed to load.

But when I navigate I am able to find redisearch.so

The redis-server you are using is old, please try to use a more recent version 7.x or 6.x.
BTW, if you don't need to compile/use the module from latest source code, you can also try the module running Redis Stack on docker
