Setup

Clone the repo and run . ./set_gopath.sh (set_gopath.bat on Windows) to setup your GOPATH:

git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools
cd mongo-tools
. ./set_gopath.sh

Building Tools

To build the tools, you need to have Go version 1.3 and up.

An additional flag, -tags, can be passed to the go build command in order to build the tools with support for SSL and/or SASL. For example:

mkdir bin
go build -o bin/mongoimport mongoimport/main/mongoimport.go # build mongoimport
go build -o bin/mongoimport -tags ssl mongoimport/main/mongoimport.go # build mongoimport with SSL support enabled
go build -o bin/mongoimport -tags "ssl sasl" mongoimport/main/mongoimport.go # build mongoimport with SSL and SASL support enabled
