Building Redis
--------------
% 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"
+the "make install" target that will copy the binary to /usr/local/bin
+by 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 you build Redis is a good idea to test it, using:

-Buliding using tcmalloc
------------------------
-
-tcmalloc is a fast and space efficient implementation 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
-------------
% cd src
% ./redis-server /path/to/redis.conf
