Step #1: Install Memcached

As a matter of best practice we'll update our packages:

apt-get update

Then installing Memcached and related packages are now as simple as running just one command::

apt-get install memcached

Step #2: Configuration of the Memcached installation

Use the following command to view information on the memcached command:

memcached -h

The default configuration file can be found at:

/etc/memcached.conf

When started, Memcached'll start on port 11211 by default per the default configuration file:

# Default connection port is 11211
-p 11211

To change the port, simply the number in the configuration file.
