MongoDB installation
1. Import the public key used by the package management system.
The Ubuntu package management tools (i.e. dpkg and apt) ensure package consistency and
authenticity by requiring that distributors sign packages with GPG keys. Issue the following
command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv
EA312927
You will get the key like this:
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring
--homedir /tmp/tmp.sPL19mALku --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model
always --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv
EA312927
gpg: requesting key EA312927 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key EA312927: public key "MongoDB 3.2 Release Signing Key
<[email protected]>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
2Create a list file for MongoDB.
Create the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list list file using the
command appropriate for your version of Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 12.04
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu precise/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse"
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list
Ubuntu 14.04
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-
org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-
org-3.2.list
Ubuntu 16.04
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse"
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list
3 Reload local package database.
Issue the following command to reload the local package database:
sudo apt-get update
4 Install the MongoDB packages.
You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.
Install the latest stable version of MongoDB.
Issue the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
Install a specific release of MongoDB.
To install a specific release, you must specify each component package individually along with the
version number, as in the following example:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org=3.2.10 mongodb-org-server=3.2.10
mongodb-org-shell=3.2.10 mongodb-org-mongos=3.2.10 mongodb-org-
tools=3.2.10
If you only install mongodb-org=3.2.10 and do not include the component packages, the latest
version of each MongoDB package will be installed regardless of what version you specified.
Pin a specific version of MongoDB.
Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB, apt-get will upgrade the packages
when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package. To pin
the version of MongoDB at the currently installed version, issue the following command sequence:
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
The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongodb and its log files in
/var/log/mongodb by default, and runs using the mongodb user account. You can specify
alternate log and data file directories in /etc/mongod.conf. See systemLog.path and
storage.dbPath for additional information.
If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights
to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories to give this user access to
these directories.
1
Start MongoDB.
Issue the following command to start mongod:
sudo service mongod start
Display will be like this
baskar@200809JUNC0287-A:~$ sudo service mongod start
start: Job is already running: mongod
2 Verify that MongoDB has started successfully
Verify that the mongod process has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at
/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log for a line reading
[initandlisten] waiting for connections on port <port>
where <port> is the port configured in /etc/mongod.conf, 27017 by default.
3 Stop MongoDB.
As needed, you can stop the mongod process by issuing the following command:
sudo service mongod stop
4 Restart MongoDB.
Issue the following command to restart mongod:
sudo service mongod restart
5. To start mongoDB client:
baskar@200809JUNC0287-A:~$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.2.10
connecting to: test
