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()
