Download TiDB Tools

This document describes how to download the TiDB Toolkit.

TiDB Toolkit contains frequently used TiDB tools, such as data export tool Dumpling, data import tool TiDB Lightning, and backup and restore tool BR.

Tip

If your deployment environment has internet access, you can deploy a TiDB tool using a single TiUP command, so there is no need to download the TiDB Toolkit separately.
If you need to deploy and maintain TiDB on Kubernetes, instead of downloading the TiDB Toolkit, follow the steps in TiDB Operator offline installation.

Environment requirements

Operating system: Linux
Architecture: amd64

Download link

You can download TiDB Toolkit from the following link:

https://download.pingcap.org/tidb-community-toolkit-{version}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
