   9 ## Information about redis
  10
  11 Redis is a key-value database. It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists and sets with atomic operations to push/pop elements.

  21 ## Requirements
  22
  23 - sbt (get it at http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/)
  24
  25 ## Usage
  26
  27 Start your redis instance (usually redis-server will do it)
  28
  29     $ cd scala-redis
  30     $ sbt
  31     > update
  32     > test (optional to run the tests)
  33     > console
  34
  35 And you are ready to start issuing commands to the server(s)
  36
  37 let's connect and get a key:
  38
  39     scala> import com.redis._
  40     scala> val r = new Redis("localhost", 6379)
  41     scala> val r.set("key", "some value")
  42     scala> val r.get("key")
