Answer

You use the MODULE LIST command to see all currently loaded modules along with their versions, and load a new module either by specifying it as a startup parameter when launching the Redis server, or dynamically at runtime using the MODULE LOAD command followed by the path to the module's compiled file.
MODULE LIST
MODULE LOAD /usr/lib/redis/modules/rejson.so
