Install MongoDB
Happiness Engineer..Critical Thinker.
IMPORTANT:
The mongodb-org package is officially maintained and supported by MongoDB Inc. and kept up-to-date with the most recent MongoDB releases. This installation procedure uses the mongodb-org package.
The mongodb package provided by Ubuntu is not maintained by MongoDB Inc. and conflicts with the mongodb-org package. To check if Ubuntu’s mongodb package is installed on the system, run sudo apt list --installed | grep mongodb. You can use sudo apt remove mongodb and sudo apt purge mongodb to remove and purge the mongodb package before attempting this procedure.
[1. Import the public key used by the package management system]
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-X.Y.asc | sudo apt-key add -
(If you receive an error indicating that gnupg is not installed)
[Install gnupg]
sudo apt-get install gnupg
(Then retry the importing the public key)
[2. Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-X.Y.list file for MongoDB]
(Distributions and versions can be found here Index of dists. Replace X.Y with a specific version e.g. 4.2)
[Create the list file for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)]
echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/X.Y multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-X.Y.list
[3. Reload local package database]
sudo apt-get update
[4. Install the MongoDB packages]
[Install MongoDB]
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
or
[Install a specific release of MongoDB]
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org=X.Y.Z mongodb-org-server=X.Y.Z mongodb-org-shell=X.Y.Z mongodb-org-mongos=X.Y.Z mongodb-org-tools=X.Z.Y
[Pin a specific version of MongoDB]
(Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB, apt-get upgrades the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package)
echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-shell hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
[Run MongoDB Community Edition]
[1. Start MongoDB]
sudo service mongod start
[2. Verify that MongoDB has started successfully]
sudo service mongod status
(You can also check the log file for the current status of the mongod process, located at: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log by default. A running mongod instance will indicate that it is ready for connections with the following line)
[initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017
[3. Stop MongoDB]
sudo service mongod stop
[4. Restart MongoDB]
sudo service mongod restart
[5. Begin using MongoDB]
[Start a mongo shell]
mongo
[Uninstall MongoDB]
WARNING:
This process will completely remove MongoDB, its configuration, and all databases. This process is not reversible, so ensure that all of your configuration and data is backed up before proceeding.
[1. Stop MongoDB]
sudo service mongod stop
[2. Remove Packages]
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*
[3. Remove Data Directories]
sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
