README

          
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

Buliding using tcmalloc

-----------------------

tcmalloc is a fast and space efficient implementation (for little objects)

of malloc(). Compiling Redis with it can improve performances and memeory

usage. You can read more about it here:

http://goog-perftools.sourceforge.net/doc/tcmalloc.html

In order to compile Redis with tcmalloc support install tcmalloc on your system

and then use:

    % make USE_TCMALLOC=yes

Note that you can pass any other target to make, as long as you append

USE_TCMALLOC=yes at the end.

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!
