# Installing Memcached
|
|
|
|
The Blockstack API optionally uses memcached and pylibmc for scaling read-only
|
|
calls. If you want to enable this functionality then you should have memcached
|
|
running locally.
|
|
|
|
### Memcached on Debian & Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install -y python-dev libmemcached-dev zlib1g-dev
|
|
$ pip install pylibmc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Memcached on macOS:
|
|
|
|
Easiest way to install memcached on macOS is by using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).
|
|
|
|
After installing Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ brew install memcached
|
|
$ brew install libmemcached
|
|
$ pip install pylibmc --install-option="--with-libmemcached=/usr/local/Cellar/libmemcached/1.0.18_1/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After installing, you can start memcached and check if it's running properly:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ memcached -d
|
|
$ echo stats | nc localhost 11211
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Memcached on Heroku
|
|
|
|
To deploy on Heroku:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ heroku create
|
|
$ heroku addons:add memcachedcloud
|
|
$ git push heroku master
|
|
```
|
|
