Hubot not setting up properly: "hubot-redis-brain: using default redis..."

Question

I have looked at the information on Hubot on their own actual website, I have tried everything, I have been on this problem for nearly just over a day and a half worth of hours.

I am installing Hubot on a Virtual Machine using Linux, I would like to get it working alongside Campfire.

So far I have set up the Hubot, set my own personal details for the bot, it is called Tron.

I have then went to export the TOKEN,

I exported the ROOMS as

" export HUBOT_CAMPFIRE_ROOMS="123456""

I then exported the account: "export HUBOT_CAMPFIRE_ACCOUNT="place121""

It has given me this error: "INFO hubot-redist-brain: using default redis on localhost:6379"

How can I fix this?

I am quite frankly fed up, this software clearly isn't fully operational, either due to the tutorial information or the software itself. I was up late trying to get it working.

The tutorial information on there is so vague the software should be pulled down and someone should make a clear tutorial on how to properly install it, none of these vague commands.

Looks like your instance of Hubot is persisting the Hubot brain (data store) in Redis. This requires a running Redis instance and an environment variable providing the connection string to Redis with authentication details. The hubot-redis-brain GitHub repo details the required setup.
