Installing Memcached

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y memcached libmemcached-tools
sudo systemctl start memcached
sudo systemctl enable memcached
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Verify that Memcached is currently bound to the local IPv4 127.0.0.1 interface and listening only for TCP connections by using the ss command:

sudo ss -plunt

You should receive output like the following:

Output
