Install MongoDB on Ubuntu

MongoDB is a NoSQL document-oriented database. Refers to a database with a data model other than the tabular format used in relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL. MongoDB features include: full index support, replication, high availability, and auto-sharding. It is a cross-platform and it makes the process of data integration faster and much easier. Since it is free and open-source, MongoDB is used by number of websites and organizations.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple. We will show you through the step by step installation MongoDB on Ubuntu 14.04 in this tutorial.

Step 1. First, add the official MongoDB public key used by the package management system.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

Step 2. Install mongoDB packages.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

If you want to install any specific version of MongoDB, define the version number like below:

 apt-get install mongodb-org=2.6.0 mongodb-org-server=2.6.0 mongodb-org-shell=2.6.0 mongodb-org-mongos=2.6.0 mongodb-org-tools=2.6.0

MongoDB daemon should be enabled to start on boot:

service mongod start
chkconfig mongod on

The main configuration file is located in the /etc directory on your Linux VPS as mongod.conf. To edit it, you can use your favorite text editor.

 nano /etc/mongod.conf

Step 3. Verifying mongoDB database.

Connect MongoDB using command line and execute some test commands for checking proper working.

#mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.7
connecting to: test
Welcome to the MongoDB shell.

A good way to start using MongoDB on your CentOS 6 is to read the MongoDB manual on the official web site.

Install MongoDB on CentOS 6

MongoDB is a NoSQL document-oriented database. Refers to a database with a data model other than the tabular format used in relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL. MongoDB features include: full index support, replication, high availability, and auto-sharding. It is a cross-platform and it makes the process of data integration faster and much easier. Since it is free and open-source, MongoDB is used by number of websites and organizations.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple. In this tutorial we are going to learn the step by step installation MongoDB on CentOS 6 machine.

Step 1. First, add the official MongoDB repository to your system.

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo file.

#nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

## CentOS 64-bit ##

[mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

## CentOS 32-bit ##

[mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/i686/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

Step 2. Install mongoDB packages.

 yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server

MongoDB daemon should be enabled to start on boot:

/etc/init.d/mongod start
chkconfig mongod on

The main configuration file is located in the /etc directory on your Linux VPS as mongod.conf. To edit it, you can use your favorite text editor.

 nano /etc/mongod.confp.

Step 3. Verifying mongoDB database.

Unlike MySQL, there aren’t a lot of graphical UIs and/or desktop clients available for MongoDB.  There are of course language bindings, to allow us to use PHP and other languages to access the database, but a lot of the fundamental work is done using the command-line client.

# mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.7
connecting to: test
