curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://tiup-mirrors.pingcap.com/install.sh | sh
```

Declare global environment variables:
```
source .bash_profile
```


Install dumpling
```
tiup install dumpling
```

Use dumpling in TiDB to export data.
```
tiup dumpling -h ${tidb-endpoint} -P 3306 -u ${user} -F 67108864 -t 4 -o /path/to/export/dir

Currently, dumpling only supports Mydumper format output, and can be easily recover to a MySQL-compatible database by using TiDB Lightning.
