Mongodb installation

To install MongoDB on your system, you can follow these general steps. Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on your operating system. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I will provide instructions for common operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.

1. Choose the Installation Method:

MongoDB can be installed in different ways, depending on your operating system and personal preferences. The two main installation methods are:

• Community Server: This is the open-source version of MongoDB suitable for most use cases.
• Atlas: MongoDB offers a cloud-based database service called Atlas. If you prefer a managed solution, you can use MongoDB Atlas.

2. System Requirements:

Ensure your system meets the hardware and software requirements for MongoDB. You can find the specific requirements on the official MongoDB website.

3. Installation Steps:

Here are the installation steps for different operating systems:

A. Installation on Windows:

1. Visit the MongoDB download center: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
2. Download the MongoDB installer for Windows.
3. Run the installer and follow the installation wizard.
4. Make sure to install MongoDB as a service. This will ensure MongoDB starts automatically with your computer.

B. Installation on macOS:

1. You can use Homebrew to install MongoDB on macOS. If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can install it from https://brew.sh/.
2. Open your terminal and run the following commands:

bashCopy code

brew tap mongodb/brew brew install mongodb-community

3. Start MongoDB using:

bashCopy code

brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community

C. Installation on Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

1. Open a terminal.
2. Import the MongoDB public key:

bashCopy code

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add –

3. Create a list file for MongoDB:

bashCopy code

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list

Make sure to adjust the version (4.4) and Ubuntu version (focal) to your specific case.

4. Update your package list and install MongoDB:

bashCopy code

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

5. Start the MongoDB service:

bashCopy code

sudo systemctl start mongod

6. Enable MongoDB to start on boot:

bashCopy code

sudo systemctl enable mongod

4. Verify Installation:

To verify that MongoDB has been installed correctly, open a terminal and run the following command:

scssCopy code

mongo --eval "printjson(db.serverStatus())"

This command should connect to your MongoDB server and display its status.

That's it! You should now have MongoDB installed on your system. You can start using it for your database needs.
