B.2 Downloading and Installing Memcached

NOTE:You should run memcached only on a SUSE Linux operating system. 64-bit is recommended.

Memcached is included with the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension. You simply need to install it on the server where the Lucene search index is running as you would any other Linux package.

If you do not have the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension, you can download and install memcached by completing the following steps on the Lucene search index server:

  1. Navigate to the openSUSE Software Download page.

  2. In the Search field, type memcached, then click Search.

  3. Download the RPM file after it is returned in the search results.

  4. Install the downloaded RPM file.

  5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on the Lucene search index server.

  6. Continue with Section B.3, Configuring Memcached.
