MongoDB: Installation on Ubuntu/Debian Machine

• Before making an installation of Mongodb on ubuntu we need to add sources list to local repository.
• First of all, we need to add MongoDB Public GPG Key

sudo apt-key adv — keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 — recv 7F0CEB10

• Next, we need to update source list /etc/apt/source.list.d/mongodb.list file using following command

echo ‘deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

• Now, we need to update the repository…

sudo apt-get update

• Now , we are ready to install our MongoDB installation

apt-get install mongodb-10gen=2.2.3

• Now we had installed MongoDB , we need to start the service

service mongodb start

• To login into mongodb prompt, we give command

mongo

• If you need mongodb help, use command

db.help()
