into the SRC folder, we can see the makefile file entered at the Mac Terminal:

Make

This command, visible terminal scrolling display of the compilation information, wait a moment on the compilation completed. Compilation is the compilation of a number of source files into binary executable programs, as with Windows EXE.

After compiling, there will be several more files in the Src folder, two of which are important, one is redis-server, the other is REDIS-CLI, which is the same as the Windows client, Redis server and client.

installation of Redis under Linux

You want to install Redis to this directory

/usr/local/redis

You want to download the installation package to this directory

/usr/local/src

Then the installation process directive is as follows:

$ mkdir/usr/local/redis   
$ cd/usr/local/src   
$ wget http:// redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.6.14.tar.gz   
$ tar xzf redis-2.6.14.tar.gz     
$ ln-s redis-2.6.14 redis #建立一个链接    
$ cd redis   
$ make Prefi X=/usr/local/redis Install #安装到指定目录中
Note the last line above, we specified the installed directory through prefix. If make fails, typically you do not have GCC installed in your system, you can install it via yum:

Yum install gcc

After the installation is complete, continue to do so.

After the installation Redis succeeds, you will be able to see a bin directory in/usr/local/redis, which includes the following files:

redis-benchmark  redis-check-aof  redis-check-dump  redis-cli  redis-server
