How to install Tokyo Tyrant, Tokyo Cabinet and rufus-tokyo

```ruby git clone git://github.com/etrepum/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 ttserver -port 45001 data.tch sudo gem install rufus-tokyo cat <>test.rb require 'rubygems' require 'rufus/tokyo/tyrant' require 'benchmark' #db = Rufus::Tokyo::Cabinet.new('data.tch') db = Rufus::Tokyo::Tyrant.new('localhost', 45001) seconds = Benchmark.realtime do for i in 1..1000000 db['nada' + i.to_s] = 'surf' + i.to_s end end puts seconds db.close EOF ruby test.rb ``` Gotchas ------- One gotcha I learned was that you should only use strings not symbols. If you use symbols you'll get this weird error: ```ruby Invalid String value ``` Another gotcha is that Tokyo Cabinet will lock a database. If you try to open the same database from another process it will wait for the other process to close the database. Debian ------ On Debian you need to install bzlib before installing tokyo-cabinet: ```ruby apt-get install libbz2-dev ```
