Before you start

Check the system requirements and known limitations.

Prerequisites

To build Percona Link for MongoDB from source, you need the following:

• Go 1.24 or later. Install and set up Go tools x
• make
• git

Build steps

Here’s how to build Percona Link for MongoDB:

1. Clone the repository and change directory to plm:

   git clone https://github.com/percona/percona-link-mongodb.git
   $ cd plm
   

2. Build the project using the Makefile:

   $ make build
   

   Alternatively, you can install PLM from the cloned repo using go install:

   $ go install .
   

   This installs plm into your GOBIN directory.

3. Add GOBIN to your PATH. This makes plm a global command in your terminal.
