Is memtier_benchmark runnable without installing Redis Software?

Question

Is there a way to have a memtier_benchmark runnable without having to install Redis Software?

Answer

Use the Docker image

You can run the Docker image that makes memtier_benchmark available only.

Extract from the Redis Software distribution

Alternatively, you can get the build contained in each GA version of Redis Software:

• untar the archive file
• untar the RE package (e.g., the .rpm file for Redhat)
• You'll find the executable under opt/redislabs/bin/memtier_benchmark

Compile from source

Alternatively, you can compile memtier_benchmark from the source code. This is available for Linux distributions or macOS. Clone the repository https://github.com/RedisLabs/memtier_benchmark and follow the instructions in the README file.
