Installing Percona Server for MongoDB from Binary Tarball
================================================================================

You can find links to the binary tarballs under the *Generic Linux* menu item on the `Percona website`_


1. Fetch and extract the binary tarball. For example, if you
   are running Debian 10 ("buster"), use the following command:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ wget https://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-server-mongodb-5.0/percona-server-mongodb-5.0.2-1/binary/tarball/percona-server-mongodb-5.0.2-1-x86_64.glibc2.17.tar.gz\
      $ tar -xf percona-server-mongodb-5.0.2-1-x86_64.glibc2.17.tar.gz

#. Add the location of the binaries to the ``PATH`` variable: 

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ export PATH=~/percona-server-mongodb-5.0.2-1/bin/:$PATH

#. Create the default data directory::

   $ mkdir -p /data/db
   
#. Make sure that you have read and write permissions for the data
   directory and run |mongod|.
