 ## Start Redis

 If you installed Redis using `apt`, start it with the `systemctl` command:
 
-	sudo systemctl restart redis.service

 Otherwise, you can start the server manually:
 
-	redis-server start

 ### Docker
 
 The command to start Redis with Docker depends on the image you've chosen to use.
 
 #### Docker with the redismod image (recommended)
 
-	docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redislabs/redismod

 ## Installing Redis OM
 
 You can install Redis OM with `pip` by running the following command:
 
-	pip install redis-om
+pip install redis-om

 Or, if you're using Poetry, you can install Redis OM with the following command:
 
-	poetry install redis-om

 With Pipenv, the command is:

+When you subclass `HashModel`, your subclass is both a Redis OM model, with methods for saving data to Redis, *and* a Pydantic model.
 
 This means that you can use Pydantic field validations with your Redis OM models, which we'll cover later, when we talk about validation. But this also means you can use Redis OM models anywhere you would use a Pydantic model, like in your FastAPI applications. 🤯
