Compiling/Installing LSMCD

LiteSpeed Memcached (“LSMCD”) is LiteSpeed's persistent memcache-compatible cache daemon. It’s performance and interface are similar to the popular Memcached, with the addition of high-availability replication. In LSMCD, cache data is persistent on both single and multiple box setups -- preserving all cache data through updates and instances of server failure.

There are certain package requirements to compile and install LSMCD. LSMCD relies on these packages to work properly. The required packages differ slightly between distributions.

Run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:

yum groupinstall “Development Tools”
yum install autoconf automake zlib-devel openssl-devel expat-devel pcre-devel

Run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:

apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libexpat1-dev openssl

There are multiple ways to download LSMCD. Here a few options:

• Git: git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsmcd.git
• Wget: wget https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsmcd/archive/master.zip
• Curl: curl -O https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsmcd/archive/master.zip

Note If using wget or curl, be sure to extract the archive with the following command: unzip master.zip

To compile LSMCD, run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:

cd lsmcd
./configure CFLAGS=" -O3" CXXFLAGS=" -O3"
make

LSMCD should now be built. If there were any errors please double check that all package requirements were installed. If package requirements were not the issue, please post on our forums for further assistance.

To install LSMCD after it has been compiled, run the following commands from the same elevated shell terminal:

make install

That’s it! LSMCD should now be installed. Be sure to look into configuring it next!
