[Python] Unknown Command FT.CREATE when creating an index for Redis

I am currently following: https://redis.io/docs/clients/python/ and in the "Indexing and querying JSON documents" section, I am trying to test out the example code on my computer but I run into this error:

redis.exceptions.ResponseError: unknown command `FT.CREATE`, with args beginning with: `idx:users`, `ON`, `JSON`, `PREFIX`, `1`, `user:`, `SCORE`, `1.0`, `SCHEMA`, `$.name`, `AS`, `name`, `TEXT`, `WEIGHT`, `1.0`, `$.`,

which seems to be stemming from these lines of code from the guide:

rs.create_index(
schema,
definition=IndexDefinition(
prefix=["user:"], index_type=IndexType.JSON
)
)


I am not too sure what's wrong and if I delete the create index lines, I get this error:

AttributeError: type object 'Path' has no attribute 'root_path'


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
