On Ubuntu, Memcached can be installed from the official repositories using apt package manager. The default installation location for Memcached is /usr/bin/memcached.
To verify if Memcached is installed on your Ubuntu system, you can use the following command in your terminal:
which memcached
If Memcached is installed, this command will return the path to the binary file, which should be /usr/bin/memcached.
You can also check the version of the installed Memcached server by running the command:
memcached -h | head -n1
This will output the version number of Memcached installed on your system.
In case Memcached is not installed on your Ubuntu system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install memcached
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Memcached service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start memcached
And enable it to start at boot time with:
sudo systemctl enable memcached
With these commands, you should have Memcached up and running on your Ubuntu system.
