Description: A persistent key-value database with built-in net interface written in ANSI-C for POSIX systems

Long Description: 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. In order to be very fast but at the same time persistent the whole dataset is taken in memory and from time to time and/or when a number of changes to the dataset are performed it is written asynchronously on disk. You may lost the last few queries that is acceptable in many applications but it is as fast as an in memory DB (beta 6 of Redis includes initial support for master-slave replication in order to solve this problem by redundancy).

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/redis
%  sudo port install redis  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching redis
--->  Verifying checksum for redis
--->  Extracting redis
--->  Configuring redis
--->  Building redis with target all

--->  Staging redis into destroot

--->  Installing redis

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using redis with these commands:

%  man redis
%  apropos redis
%  which redis
%  locate redis
