-### Softwares
+### Environment
 
-- Apache ShardingSphere Proxy can access OpenGauss network 
+- Apache ShardingSphere Proxy can access OpenGauss network
 - External access to Apache ShardingSphere Proxy
 - External access to OpenGauss Server via port 18080
 - OpenGauss has user `omm` and database `omm` which can be accessed
 - OpenGauss enables `cbm tracking`
-- SSL certs for cli and agent secure communication
+- SSL key pairs for Pitr cli-agent secure communication
 
+#### Compilation (optional)
 
-### ShardingSphere Proxy Configurations
+If you want to compile Pitr tools yourself, you should using a recommanded Golang version 1.20 with Linux 3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64. Following the steps below to compile both Pitr agent and cli.
+
+Step 1. Firstly clone the project
+
+```shell
+git clone git@github.com:apache/shardingsphere-on-cloud.git
+```
+
+Step 2. Compile Pitr agent
+
+```shell
+cd shardingsphere-on-cloud/pitr/agent
+make build
+```
+
+Step 3. Compile Pitr cli
+
+```shell
+cd shardingsphere-on-cloud/pitr/cli
+make build
+```
+
+### SSL Configurations
+
+The communication of Pitr cli and Pitr agent is secured by TLS which needs a SSL key pair. You can either use any available keypairs or generate a new keypair, e.g.:
+
+- tls.key
+- tls.crt
+
+#### Generate new TLS keypair (Optional)
+
+Make sure you have a usable OpenSSL environment, check environment variable OPENSSL_CONF, generally it is set to `/etc/pki/tls`.
+
+Then using the script under Pitr agent code directory, execute the commands below:
+
+```shell
+git clone git@github.com:apache/shardingsphere-on-cloud.git
+cd shardingsphere-on-cloud/pitr/agent
+make openssl-local
+```
+
+After that, the keypair files will be write to `./certs` in the current directory.
+
+
+## Deployment
+
+Pitr cli (aka `gs_pitr`) and Pitr agent (aka `pitr-agent`) binaries could be downloaded at Apache ShardingSphere on Cloud release page, or just compiled in your local development environment.
