          Much  of  this  section  of documentation has been rewritten and moved: Obtaining the MongoDB C Driver
          Libraries

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

       NOTE:
          Moved: mongo-c-driver Platform Support

INSTALL LIBMONGOC WITH A PACKAGE MANAGER

       NOTE:
          Moved: Installing Prebuilt MongoDB C Driver Libraries

INSTALL LIBBSON WITH A PACKAGE MANAGER

       NOTE:
          Moved: Installing Prebuilt MongoDB C Driver Libraries

DOCKER IMAGE

       You can find a Docker image in Docker Hub along with example usage of using libmongoc to ping  a  MongoDB
       database from within a Docker container.

BUILD ENVIRONMENT

       NOTE:
          Moved: Building the C Driver Libraries from Source

   Uninstalling the installed components
       There  are  two  ways  to  uninstall the components that have been installed.  The first is to invoke the
       uninstall program directly.  On Linux/Unix:

          $ sudo /usr/local/share/mongo-c-driver/uninstall.sh

       On Windows:

          $ C:\mongo-c-driver\share\mongo-c-driver\uninstall.bat

       The second way to uninstall is from within the build directory, assuming that it is  in  the  exact  same
       state as when the install command was invoked:

          $ sudo cmake --build . --target uninstall

       The second approach simply invokes the uninstall program referenced in the first approach.

   Dealing with Build Failures
       If  your  attempt  to  build  the  C  driver  fails, please see the README for instructions on requesting
       assistance.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR INTEGRATORS

       In the event that you are building the BSON library and/or the C driver to embed  with  other  components
       and you wish to avoid the potential for collision with components installed from a standard build or from
       a  distribution  package manager, you can make use of the BSON_OUTPUT_BASENAME and MONGOC_OUTPUT_BASENAME
       options to cmake.

          $ cmake -DBSON_OUTPUT_BASENAME=custom_bson -DMONGOC_OUTPUT_BASENAME=custom_mongoc ..

       The above command would produce libraries named libcustom_bson.so and libcustom_mongoc.so  (or  with  the
       extension  appropriate  for  the  build  platform).  Those libraries could be placed in a standard system
       directory or in an alternate location and could be linked to by specifying something like -lcustom_mongoc
       -lcustom_bson on the linker command line (possibly adjusting the specific flags to those required by your
       linker).
