### Dependencies

The package has three dependencies that should be easily resolvable:

- [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis), the main C library for Redis, eg via

  [libhiredis-dev](https://packages.debian.org/sid/libhiredis-dev) on Debian or Ubuntu; as

  a fallback [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis) is also included

- [Rcpp](https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp) for seamless R and C++ integration (on

  [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=Rcpp))

- [RApiSerialize](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rapiserialize) for C-level serialization

  from the R API (on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=RApiSerialize)) , and if

  so, of sufficient vintage80

The package should install from source like any other R package. If the a

[hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis) library is found, it will be used. The

`pkg-config` script is used to find the hiredis headers and library. Otherwise the

embedded [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis) is used.  All of Rcpp, RApiSerialized

and RcppRedis can be installed directly from [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org) (which is

the recommended approach) or GitHub.

[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org/index.html) support is optional, and provided by

[RcppMsgPack](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rcppmsgpack) package on

[CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=RcppMsgPack) which, if installed, is used to

provide [MessagePack](http://msgpack.org/index.html) headers for

[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org/index.html) serialization.

### Getting Started

Run some of the scripts from the `demo/` directory.

### Status

The package works well, is used in production, and has been on

[CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org) for some time.

It is however only providing a subset of the Redis API.

### History

This package was derived from an initial fork of an earlier attempt named

'rhiredis' by Wush Wu, and has since been extended in a number of

ways. William Pleasant provided some early patches. Whit Armstrong and

Russell Pierce contributed extensions.

### Authors

Dirk Eddelbuettel and Bryan W. Lewis, based on earlier work by Wush Wu and

with contributions by William Pleasant, Russell Pierce and Whit Armstrong.
