How to install MongoDB on Ubuntu Linux?

MongoDB is a popular open-source, NoSQL document database that provides high performance, high availability, and easy scalability for managing large amounts of data. It belongs to a category of databases known as document-oriented databases, which store and retrieve data in a flexible, schema-free format called JSON-like documents.

MongoDB database

From the terminal, install gnupg and curl if they are not already installed:

sudo apt-get install gnupg curl

Issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG key:

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-6.0.asc | \
   sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-6.0.gpg \
   --dearmor

Create a list file for MongoDB:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-6.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list

Reload the local package database.

sudo apt-get update

Install the MongoDB package:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Start the service:

sudo systemctl enable mongod

And then restart your computer…
