Install memcached in Mac OS El Capitan
The easiest way to install memcached is to use homebrew package installer:
$ brew install memcached
This locates memcached in /usr/local/opt/memcached/bin/
Starting memcached (by default at port 11211 or with -p port_number):
$ memcached -p 9000
To have launchd start memcached now and restart at login:
$ brew services start memcached
To change the default ram size (64mb) used by memcached use -m option:
$ memcached -m 128 -p 9000
Lastly, run memcached as a daemon with -d:
$ memcached -d -p 9000
