How to install memcached on OpenSUSE / SUSE Linux

To install memcached, a high-performance in-memory cache, on OpenSUSE or SUSE Linux, follow these steps:

1. Update the package manager's package list:

sudo zypper refresh

2. Install memcached by running the following command:

sudo zypper install memcached

This will install the memcached server and client programs, as well as any dependencies required.

3. Enable the memcached service to start automatically at boot time by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable memcached

4. Start the memcached service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start memcached

5. To check the status of the memcached service, run the following command:

systemctl status memcached

This will show you whether the service is running, and provide other information about the service.

6. To configure memcached, edit the /etc/sysconfig/memcached file. This file contains settings such as the amount of memory to allocate to the cache, the listening port, and other options.
