Extract the files from the downloaded archive.

To extract mongosync, use the tar command in a system shell:

Ensure the binary is in a directory listed in your PATH environment variable.

The mongosync binary is in the bin/ directory of the unpacked tarball. To add the location of the mongosync binary to your PATH, do one of the following:

  • Copy the binary into a directory listed in your PATH variable, such as /usr/local/bin. (Update /path/to/mongosync/bin to reflect the location where you extracted the tar file.)

    sudo cp /path/to/mongosync/bin/mongosync /usr/local/bin/

  • Create symbolic links to the mongosync binary from a directory such as /usr/local/bin that is already in your PATH. (Update /path/to/mongosync/bin to reflect the location where you extracted the tar file.)

    sudo ln -s  /path/to/mongosync/bin/mongosync /usr/local/bin/mongosync
