Ubuntu – How to install Redis – executables missing after make

installationredisUbuntu

Trying to install Redis on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. I ran the steps from the website:

wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make

And then:

sudo cp redis-server /usr/local/bin/
sudo cp redis-cli /usr/local/bin/

But these last two commands result in this:

cp: cannot stat `redis-server': No such file or directory

Am I missing something obvious here? make and make test appear to work fine.

Type make install and smile, because life is good. :-)
