Until now, we have worked with the relational database server, MySQL. In this recipe, we will learn how to install and configure MongoDB, which is a not only SQL (NoSQL) document storage server.
To get the latest version of MongoDB, we need to add the MongoDB source to Ubuntu installation sources:
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
list
file and add an install source to it:$ echo “deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu “$(lsb_release -sc)”/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
apt
repository sources and install the MongoDB server:$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
$ sudo service mongod status
$ mongo
We have installed the MongoDB server from the MongoDB official repository. The Ubuntu package repository includes the MongoDB package in it, but it is not up to date with the latest release of MongoDB. With GPG keys, Ubuntu ensures the authenticity of the packages being installed. After importing the GPG key, we have created a list
file that contains the installation source of the MongoDB server.
After installation, the MongoDB service should start automatically. You can check logs at /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
