```sh
tar xvfz prometheus-*.tar.gz
cd prometheus-*
```

Prometheus server is a single binary called `prometheus` (or `prometheus.exe` on Microsoft Windows). Run the binary and pass `--help` flag to see available options

```sh
./prometheus --help
usage: prometheus [<flags>]

### 2. Run MinIO Server with Erasure Code

Example: Start MinIO server in a 12 drives setup, using MinIO binary.

```sh
minio server /data{1...12}
```

Example: Start MinIO server in a 8 drives setup, using MinIO Docker image.

```sh
podman run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio \

ftp localhost -P 8021

- Follow through the wizard as above for Veeam Backup and Replication as the steps are the same between both products

- Under Backup Infrastructure -> Backup Repositories, right click and "Add Backup Repository"

- Follow the wizard.  Under the "Object Storage Backup Repository" section, choose the MinIO object storage you created above

- For deployments that installed the MinIO server binary by hand, use [`mc admin update`](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc-admin/mc-admin-update.html)

```sh
mc admin update <minio alias, e.g., myminio>
```

Metadata is stored in `xl.meta` files for erasure coded objects. Each disk in the set containing the object has this file. The file format is a binary format and therefore requires tools to view values.

### Installing xl-meta

To install, [Go](https://golang.org/dl/) must be installed. Once installed, execute this to install the binary:

```bash
go install github.com/minio/minio/docs/debugging/xl-meta@latest
```

### Using xl-meta

### GNU/Linux and macOS

```sh
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up
```

or

```sh
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yaml minio
```

#### 3.3.1 Install and configure GnuTLS

Download and decompress the Windows version of GnuTLS from [here](http://www.gnutls.org/download.html).

Use PowerShell to add the path of the extracted GnuTLS binary to the system path:

```
setx path "%path%;C:\Users\MyUser\Downloads\gnutls-3.4.9-w64\bin"
```

**Note:** PowerShell may need to be restarted for this change to take effect.
