Note<\/strong>: You will require sudo access to install the MongoDB on the Ubuntu OS.<\/p>\n The MongoDB package available in Ubuntu is not managed by MongoDB Inc. Here, we will show you the installation of the official MongoDB package version 4.4<\/strong>. which is managed by MongoDB Inc. Follow the below instructions to install MongoDB using the Ubuntu package manager.<\/p>\n First, you will need to add the MongoDB repository key to your apt keyring. By doing this, your system will trust the added repository. Run this command to add the MongoDB key.<\/p>\n If it is added successfully, you will see OK<\/strong> in the output.<\/p>\n Add MongoDB repository to your system\u2019s list of sources. To do so, edit the sources.list<\/strong> file using the command below:<\/p>\n Append the below line in the file:<\/p>\n Now save the file and close it.<\/p>\n Now use the below command to update your system\u2019s repository index:<\/p>\n Now the MongoDB repository has been added to our system\u2019s list of sources, we can install it as follows:<\/p>\n When prompted with the y\/n<\/strong> option, press y<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n To run MongoDB, start the mongod service (daemon for MongoDB) using the command below:<\/p>\n If the service does not start or you encounter an error like \u201cservice not found\u201d, issue the command below:<\/p>\n After starting the mongod service, check its status to verify if it is running fine. Use the command below to do so:<\/p>\n If it is running fine, you will see the below output.<\/p>\n To start the MongoDB automatically at each boot, the command is:<\/p>\n Now to start the mongo shell from the same system running the mongod process, the command is as follows:<\/p>\n Although, the recommended way of installing MongoDB on Ubuntu is by using apt package manager as it installs the required dependencies during the installation. However, you can use archive (.tgz tarball) for manually installing it in Ubuntu. Follow the below instructions to install MongoDB using the using official MongoDB archive.<\/p>\n Use the command below to install the dependencies needed for the installation of MongoDB:<\/p>\n When prompted with the y\/n<\/strong> option, press y<\/strong> to continue.<\/p>\n Now you will need to download the MongoDB archive (.tgz tarball). Use the below command to download the current latest version of MongoDB to your system:<\/p>\n Alternatively, you can also download MongoDB by accessing their official Downloads<\/a> page. Access the page and choose the MongoDB version you want to download, your OS platform, and the package (tgz). Then click Download<\/strong> to download the package.<\/p>\n Extract the MongoDB archive using the command below:<\/p>\n This extracts the files from the archive as clear in the below screenshot: Now copy the binaries located in the linux-x86_64-ubuntu2004-4.4.4\/bin <\/strong>to one of the directory in the $PATH <\/strong>like \/usr\/local\/bin. <\/strong><\/p>\n To run MongoDB, follow the below steps:<\/p>\n 1. Create directories for storing data and logs. Issue the below commands to do so:<\/p>\n 2. Use the below command to assign your user account read\/write permissions to the MongoDB data directory:<\/p>\n Then assign permission to log directory:<\/p>\n 3. Run the mongod process (daemon for MongoDB) using the command below:<\/p>\n 4. Now to start the mongo shell from the same system running the mongod process, the command is as follows:<\/p>\n If you no longer need MongoDB, you can completely uninstall it from your Ubuntu system. To do so, first stop the mongod process:<\/p>\n To remove MongoDB that you have installed using package manager, the command is as follows:<\/p>\n If you want to remove the logs and data directories too, use the commands below:<\/p>\n If you have installed MongoDB through the archive, you can uninstall it by removing the MongoDB binaries from \/usr\/local\/bin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This is how you can install MongoDB on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using either the apt package manager or by downloading and installing through the archive.
