MongoDB is a Free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database program. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB avoids the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.

Following are the steps to install the MongoDB in centOS:

Step - 1: Login to the system via SSH.

Step - 2: Create a MongoDB repository file using an editor as below.

nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

Step -3: If you are running a 64-bit system, add the below information to the file you have created.

[mongodb]

name=MongoDB Repository

baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/

gpgcheck=0

enabled=1

Step - 4: Press CTRL+x to exit and press Y to save the file

Step - 5: It will ask to confirm filename and path. Just press enter.

Step - 6: As a best practice, we should also update our package using below command.

yum -y update

Step - 7: Now, run below command to install MongoDB.

yum -y install mongodb-org mongodb-org-server

That's it. MongoDB is installed.

Using .rpm Packages (Recommended)
Configure the package management system (yum).

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.0.repo file so that you can install MongoDB directly using yum:

Code: Select all

[mongodb-org-4.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc

Install the MongoDB packages.

To install the latest stable version of MongoDB, issue the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org


To install a specific release of MongoDB, specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example:

Code: Select all

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org-4.0.6 mongodb-org-server-4.0.6 mongodb-org-shell-4.0.6 mongodb-org-mongos-4.0.6 mongodb-org-tools-4.0.6


You can specify any available version of MongoDB. However yum upgrades the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package. To pin a package, add the following exclude directive to your /etc/yum.conf file:

Code: Select all

exclude=mongodb-org,mongodb-org-server,mongodb-org-shell,mongodb-org-mongos,mongodb-org-tools
