Where to find complete Redis documentation?
-------------------------------------------
This README is just a fast "quick start" document. You can find more detailed
documentation at http://redis.io
Building Redis
--------------
It is as simple as:
% make
Redis is just a single binary, but if you want to install it you can use
the "make install" target that will copy the binary in /usr/local/bin
for default. You can also use "make PREFIX=/some/other/directory install"
if you wish to use a different destination.
You can run a 32 bit Redis binary using:
% make 32bit
After building Redis is a good idea to test it, using:
% make test
NOTE: if after building Redis with a 32 bit target you need to rebuild it
with a 64 bit target you need to perform a "make clean" in the root
directory of the Redis distribution.
Allocator
---------
By default Redis compiles and links against jemalloc under Linux, since
glibc malloc() has memory fragmentation problems.
To force a libc malloc() build use:
make FORCE_LIBC_MALLOC=yes
In all the other non Linux systems the libc malloc() is used by default.
On Mac OS X you can force a jemalloc based build using the following:
make USE_JEMALLOC=yes
Verbose build
-------------
Redis will build with a user friendly colorized output by default.
If you want to see a more verbose output use the following:
make V=1
Running Redis
-------------
To run Redis with the default configuration just type:
% cd src
% ./redis-server
If you want to provide your redis.conf, you have to run it using an additional
parameter (the path of the configuration file):
% cd src
% ./redis-server /path/to/redis.conf
Playing with Redis
------------------
You can use redis-cli to play with Redis. Start a redis-server instance,
then in another terminal try the following:
% cd src
% ./redis-cli
redis> ping
PONG
redis> set foo bar
OK
redis> get foo
"bar"
redis> incr mycounter
(integer) 1
redis> incr mycounter
(integer) 2
redis>
You can find the list of all the available commands here:
http://redis.io/commands
Enjoy!
