OR build Redis from source:

Install build-essentials (optional):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y

Build Redis from source:

sudo curl -o redis-stable.tar.gz https://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
sudo make install
redis-server & # or setup services

AND setup services: (optional)

sudo adduser --system --group --no-create-home redis
sudo bash -c 'cat > /etc/systemd/system/redis.service <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Redis In-Memory Data Store
After=network.target

[Service]
User=redis
Group=redis
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/redis-server
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/redis-cli shutdown
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable redis
sudo systemctl start redis

Clone the git project:

Install git (optional):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git -y

git clone https://github.com/tn3w/rusty-loadbalancing.git

Move into the project folder:
```
cd rusty-loadbalancing
```

Build rusty-loadbalancing

Install git (optional):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cargo -y

cargo build --release

Move executable into /usr/local/bin (optional)

sudo cp ./target/release/rusty-loadbalancing /usr/local/bin/rusty-loadbalancing

Run rusty-loadbalancing

./target/release/rusty-loadbalancing --help

OR:

rusty-loadbalancing --help

Cleaning up (optional):

sudo rm redis-stable.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf redis-stable
sudo rm -rf rusty-loadbalancing

Remove rust, cargo, build-essentials, curl and git:

sudo apt purge rust cargo build-essential curl git -y
sudo apt autoremove

Important

Errors may occur during the installation, this is because certain programs are not yet installed, which are then installed automatically. It can also take longer to complete, which means that Visual Studio Build tools required for cargo build are automatically installed.
