The Ubuntu package management tool (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 10gen public GPG Key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list file using the following command.
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/10gen.list
Now issue the following command to reload your repository:
sudo apt-get update
Install Packages
Issue the following command to install the latest stable version of MongoDB:
sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen
When this command completes, you have successfully installed MongoDB! Continue for configuration
and start-up suggestions.
Manage Installed Versions
You can use the mongodb-10gen package to install previous versions of MongoDB. To install a specific release, append the version number to the package name, as in the following example:
apt-get install mongodb-10gen=2.2.3
This will install the 2.2.3 release of MongoDB. You can specify any available version of MongoDB; however apt-get will upgrade the mongodb-10gen package when a newer version becomes available. Use the following pinning procedure to prevent unintended upgrades.
To pin a package, issue the following command at the system prompt to pin the version of MongoDB at the currently installed version:
echo "mongodb-10gen hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
Configure MongoDB
These packages configure MongoDB using the /etc/mongodb.conf file in conjunction with the control script. You will find the control script is at /etc/init.d/mongodb.
This MongoDB instance will store its data files in the /var/lib/mongodb and its log files in /var/log/mongodb, and run using the mongodb user account.
Note If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you will need to modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories.
Controlling MongoDB
Starting MongoDB
You can start the mongod process by issuing the following command:
sudo service mongodb start
You can verify that mongod has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at
/var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log.
Stopping MongoDB
As needed, you may stop the mongod process by issuing the following command:
sudo service mongodb stop
Restarting MongoDB
You may restart the mongod process by issuing the following command:
sudo service mongodb restart
Using MongoDB
Among the tools included with the MongoDB package, is the mongo shell. You can connect to your MongoDB instance by issuing the following command at the system prompt:
mongo
