Install MongoDB Enterprise¶
Note
To install a version of MongoDB prior to 3.2, please refer to that version’s documentation. For example, see version 3.0.
Configure repository.¶
Create an /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-enterprise.repo
file so that
you can install MongoDB enterprise directly, using yum
.
For the latest stable release of MongoDB Enterprise¶
Use the following repository file:
.repo
files for each release can also be found in the repository itself.
Remember that odd-numbered minor release versions (e.g. 2.5) are development versions and are unsuitable
for production deployment.
Install the MongoDB Enterprise packages and associated tools.¶
You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB Enterprise or a specific version of MongoDB Enterprise.
To install the latest stable version of MongoDB Enterprise, issue the following command:
Optional: Manage Installed Version¶
Install a specific release of MongoDB Enterprise.¶
Specify each component package individually and append the
version number to the package name, as in the following example
that installs the 3.2.1
release of MongoDB:
Pin a specific version of MongoDB Enterprise.¶
Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB
Enterprise, yum
will upgrade the packages when a newer
version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin
the package by adding the following exclude
directive to your
/etc/yum.conf
file:
Previous versions of MongoDB packages use different naming conventions. See the 2.4 version of documentation for more information.
When the install completes, you can run MongoDB.¶
Install MongoDB Enterprise From Tarball¶
While you should use the .rpm
packages as previously described, you may
also manually install MongoDB using the tarballs.
First you must install any dependencies as appropriate:
To perform the installation, see Install MongoDB Enterprise From Tarball.
Run MongoDB Enterprise¶
The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongo
and its log files in /var/log/mongodb
by default,
and runs using the mongod
user account. You can specify alternate log and data file
directories in /etc/mongod.conf
. See systemLog.path
and storage.dbPath
for additional information.
If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you
must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongo
and
/var/log/mongodb
directories to give this user access to these
directories.
Verify that MongoDB has started successfully¶
You can verify that the mongod
process has started
successfully by checking the contents of the log file at
/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
for a line reading
where <port>
is the port configured in /etc/mongod.conf
, 27017
by default.
You can optionally ensure that MongoDB will start following a system reboot by issuing the following command:
Begin using MongoDB.¶
To help you start using MongoDB, MongoDB provides Getting Started Guides in various driver editions. See Getting Started for the available editions.
Before deploying MongoDB in a production environment, consider the Production Notes document.
Later, to stop MongoDB, press Control+C
in the terminal where the
mongod
instance is running.
