# Download {{pcsm.full_name}} from Percona website

You can download {{pcsm.full_name}} from [Percona website :octicons-link-external-16:](https://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-clustersync-mongodb/) and install it:

* [From binary tarballs](#install-from-binary-tarballs). Tarballs only for x86_64 architecture are available.
* Manually, from the installation packages using `dpkg` (Debian and Ubuntu) or `rpm` (Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivative). However, you must make sure that all dependencies are satisfied.

wget https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/percona-clustersync-mongodb/percona-clustersync-mongodb-{{release}}/binary/tarball/percona-clustersync-mongodb-{{release}}-x86_64.tar.gz
```

2. Extract the tarball

```bash
tar -xf percona-clustersync-mongodb-{{release}}-x86_64.tar.gz
```

3. Export the location of the binaries to the `PATH` variable

For example, if you’ve extracted the tarball to your `home` directory, the command would be the following:

```bash
export PATH=~/percona-clustersync-mongodb-{{release}}/:$PATH
```
