Getting Started

Prerequisites

The following libraries are required for building:

  • libevent 2.0.10 or newer.
  • libpcre 8.x.

The following tools are required

  • autoconf
  • automake
  • GNU make
  • GCC C++ compiler

CentOS 6.x Prerequisites

On a CentOS 6.4 system, use the following to install prerequisites:

# yum install autoconf automake make gcc-c++ 
# yum install pcre-devel zlib-devel libmemcached-devel

CentOS 6.4 ships with older versions of libevent, which must be manually built and installed as follows:

To download, build and install libevent-2.0.21:

$ wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
$ tar xfz libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
$ pushd libevent-2.0.21-stable
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ popd

The above steps will install into /usr/local so it does not confict with the distribution-bundled versions. The last step is to set up the PKG_CONFIG_PATH so configure can find the newly installed library.

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}

Then proceed to follow the build instructions below.

Ubuntu 12.x Prerequisites

On recent Ubuntu versions, simply install all prerequisites as follows:

# apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libpcre3-dev libevent-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev

Building and installing

After downloading the source tree, use standard autoconf/automake commands::

$ autoreconf -ivf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Using memtier_benchmark

See the included manpage or run::

$ memtier_benchmark --help

for command line options.
