## Download and Build
To start using `memcached`, first you have to download it. This is readily done as follows:
```sh
prompt> curl -O http://www.memcached.org/files/memcached-1.6.17.tar.gz
```
Now you have obtained the tar'd and gzip'd source code. To build `memcached`, just follow these steps:
```sh
prompt> tar xvzf memcached-1.6.17.tar.gz
prompt> cd memcached-1.6.17
prompt> ./configure
prompt> make
```
At this point, a lot of stuff will happen to build `memcached`, but hopefully it just works and you are ready to try it out!
