Installing Percona Toolkit
==========================
It is recommended to install Percona software from official repositories:
1. Configure Percona repositories as described in
`Percona Software Repositories Documentation
<https://docs.percona.com/percona-software-repositories/index.html>`_.
#. Enable Percona Toolkit repository::
sudo percona-release enable pt release
#. Install Percona Toolkit using the corresponding package manager:
* For Debian or Ubuntu::
sudo apt-get install percona-toolkit
* For RHEL or CentOS::
sudo yum install percona-toolkit
.. rubric:: Generating an instance UUID for statistics
During the installation process, the percona-toolkit installer records a unique
identifier specific to the given percona-toolkit instance. This ID is a the
product UUID stored in |product-uuid|. The installer copies the product_uuid to
|toolkit-uuid|.
This unique identifier is used when collecting statistics about the usage of
percona-toolkit. Note that no other information is gathered for this purpose.
In cases when the installer is not able to read the contents of
|product-uuid|, a random UUID is generated. A random UUID is
also generated if percona-toolkit is run from the binary in the *tar.gz* file.
Alternative Install Methods
===========================
You can also download the packages from the
`Percona web site <https://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-toolkit/>`_
and install it using tools like ``dpkg`` and ``rpm``,
depending on your system.
For example, to download the package for Debian 11 ("bullseye"),
run the following::
wget https://downloads.percona.com/downloads/percona-toolkit/3.5.1/binary/debian/bullseye/x86_64/percona-toolkit_3.5.1-2.bullseye_amd64.deb
If you want to download a specific tool, use the following address:
http://www.percona.com/get
For example, to download the ``pt-summary`` tool, run::
wget percona.com/get/pt-summary
.. |toolkit-uuid| replace:: :file:`/etc/percona-toolkit/.percona.toolkit.uuid`
.. |product-uuid| replace:: :file:`/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid`
