apt-get -y install memcached
yum -y install libevent libevent-devel memcached
If none of the above works, you can install it manually.
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/download/release-2.1.12-stable/libevent-2.1.12-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzf libevent-2.1.12-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.1.12-stable
./configure && make && make install
Installation was successful if the output you see looks like this:
Libraries have been installed in: /usr/local/lib
Then:
echo "/usr/local/lib/" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libevent.conf
ldconfig -v
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://memcached.org/files/memcached-1.6.9.tar.gz
tar -xzf memcached-1.6.9.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.6.9
./configure --enable-threads --enable-64bit && make && make install
echo '#!/bin/sh -e' > /etc/init.d/memcached
echo '/usr/local/bin/memcached -d -m 128 -p 11211 -u nobody -l localhost' >> /etc/init.d/memcached
chmod u+x /etc/init.d/memcached
echo -e "PORT=\"11211\"\nUSER=\"memcached\"\nMAXCONN=\"1024\"\nCACHESIZE=\"64\"\nOPTIONS=\"\"" > /etc/sysconfig/memcached
service memcached start
chkconfig --add memcached
chkconfig memcached on
systemctl start memcached.service
systemctl enable memcached.service
If you performed a manual installation then you may need to create a service configuration file before you can enable the service on boot.
Create a file /usr/lib/systemd/system/memcached.service with the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Memcached
Before=httpd.service
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/memcached
ExecStart=/usr/bin/memcached -u $USER -p $PORT -m $CACHESIZE -c $MAXCONN $OPTIONS
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
