Blog » Tokyo Cabinet, Tokyo Tyrant and Rufus Tokyo in Ubuntu from Github

After reading the performance of Tokyo Cabinet, it was necessary to try it. It's easy to install it and try it in Ruby:

Hint: CTRL+SHIFT+V pastes in Ubuntu terminal. You can paste the code from web pages.

Install Tokyo Cabinet and Tokyo Tyrant from Github:

cd /usr/local/src

git clone git://github.com/clement/tokyo-cabinet.git
git clone git://github.com/etrepum/tokyo-tyrant.git

cd tokyo-cabinet/
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd ..
cd tokyo-tyrant/
./configure
make
sudo make install

Those instructions are similar to that of Openwferu but, at least today, clement is more up-to-date then etrepum.

Then install the Ruby interface

sudo gem install rufus-tokyo

Fire your irb and play with the examples

For example,

require 'rubygems'
  require 'rufus/tokyo'
 
  db = Rufus::Tokyo::Cabinet.new('data.tch')
 
  db['nada'] = 'surf'
 
  p db['nada'] # => 'surf'
  p db['lost'] # => nil
 
  db.close
