Building Tools
We currently build the tools with Go version 1.15. Other Go versions may work but they are untested.
Using go get
to directly build the tools will not work. To build them, it's recommended to first clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools
cd mongo-tools
Then run ./make build
to build all the tools, placing them in the bin
directory inside the repository.
You can also build a subset of the tools using the -pkgs
option. For example, ./make build -pkgs=mongodump,mongorestore
builds only mongodump
and mongorestore
.
To use the build/test scripts in this repository, you must set GOROOT to your Go root directory. This may depend on how you installed Go.
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
Updating Dependencies
Starting with version 100.3.1, the tools use go mod
to manage dependencies. All dependencies are listed in the go.mod
file and are directly vendored in the vendor
directory.
In order to make changes to dependencies, you first need to change the go.mod
file. You can manually edit that file to add/update/remove entries, or you can run the following in the repository directory:
go mod edit -require=<package>@<version> # for adding or updating a dependency
go mod edit -droprequire=<package> # for removing a dependency
Then run go mod vendor -v
to reconstruct the vendor
directory to match the changed go.mod
file.
Optionally, run go mod tidy -v
to ensure that the go.mod
file matches the mongo-tools
source code.
