Issue with Redis install "cc: Command not found"

Question

Installing redis is really easy. I have done it on several VM. But on one instance, I am facing the following problem.

[root@server redis-2.4.2]# make
cd src && make all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/redis-2.4.2/src'
MAKE hiredis
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/redis-2.4.2/deps/hiredis'
cc -c -std=c99 -pedantic -O3 -fPIC -Wall -W -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings    -g -ggdb  net.c
make[2]: cc: Command not found
make[2]: *** [net.o] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/redis-2.4.2/deps/hiredis'
make[1]: *** [dependencies] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/redis-2.4.2/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Is there any other way to install redis?

Answer 1

make[2]: cc: Command not found

This means that c compiler is uninstalled, or that it's not in $PATH.

Try which cc, this should tell the directory where cc is installed, if it is.

Otherwise, you can use your distro repository to install it.

In Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install build-essential.

I am using centos. # No package build-essential available. # how to I install cc ? – Gittens

Try yum install gcc first, then try again make for redis. – Pantheism

Answer 2

wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz

tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz

cd redis-stable

sudo apt-get install make

sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install tcl

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get update

## if there is another error like "fatal error: jemalloc/jemalloc.h: No such file or directory"

## just run "make distclean"

make

make test

Great stuff, thanks. One thing: you are doing cd redis-stable twice :) – Meal

Also, if this were to be a shell script, you should use # for comments. – Meal

I also use CentOS. You can try this:

$ wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-3.0.5.tar.gz
$ tar xzf redis-3.0.5.tar.gz
$ cd redis-3.0.5
$ make MALLOC=libc  && make install

Answer 5

To install the Redis on Ubuntu, go to terminal and type the following commands:

$sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install redis-server

This will install redis on your machine.

To start Redis

$redis-server

Check if redis is working?

$redis-cli

This will open a redis prompt, as shown below:

redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

In the above prompt 127.0.0.1 is your machine's IP address and 6379 is port on which redis server is running. Now type the PING command as shown below.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> ping

Answer 6

(Ubuntu) I tried it with installing with synaptic package manager in ubuntu. Synaptic can be installed using sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install synaptic

ans after installation, just search for redis and install redis-server. It will install redis-client as well.

this is quite useless, because the root of the error is indicated by the error message and you just change the downloaded file. – Alaric
