Tokyo Cabinet (TC) is a data repository which is tailored for high speed retrieval. It is not a full fledged DBMS like Mysql or MongoDB . At its core, it is a simple key-value lookup database. Any kind of data , binary or character based, can be a key to any kind of value – again binary or character based. It supports very fast updates and retrieval.<\/p>\n
Tokyo Tyrant (TT) is the set of packages which allows external programs to work with TC. It provides a set of functions which allows manipulation and retrieval of data with TC. TT acts a server which interacts with TC.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TT can be used with several popular languages. Libraries and APIs exist for Perl, Ruby, Java, PHP, Python, C# and others.<\/p>\n
This article focuses on installing TT on Linux Mint. Most of the steps should be the same in other versions of Linux, with minor differences in commands or locations of the files. TT does not work in Windows as of now.<\/p>\n

You will have to install gcc first. . Most Linux Mint systems do not have it as part of the default installation since not everyone wants to do development. To install gcc type:<\/p>\n sudo apt-get install gcc<\/em><\/p>\n In case your gcc is up to date, then you need to update the build-essential package:<\/p>\n sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At this stage sudo .\/configure<\/em> should run fine.<\/p>\n Run the make file<\/p>\n sudo make<\/em><\/p>\n Run its self-diagnostics<\/p>\n make check<\/em><\/p>\n Run the final install<\/p>\n sudo make install<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.Compile TT<\/strong><\/p>\n Change current directory to the TT directory which was created after unarchive. eg.<\/p>\n cd tokyotyrant-1.1.41<\/em><\/p>\n Run the configuration script:<\/p>\n sudo\u00a0 .\/configure<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you get the error message “error: C compiler cannot create executables”<\/em> it means the gcc compiler is not installed in the system.
