MongoDB is an open source, NoSQL database that is becoming increasingly popular due to its flexibility, scalability, and performance. It is used by many businesses and organizations to store and manage data. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on Ubuntu in just a few easy steps.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure that your Ubuntu system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:
`sudo apt-get update`
Step 1: Install MongoDB
The first step is to install MongoDB. To do this, run the following command:
`sudo apt-get install -y mongodb`
This will install the latest version of MongoDB on your system.
Step 2: Configure MongoDB
The next step is to configure MongoDB. To do this, we need to create a configuration file for MongoDB. Create a new file with the following command:
`sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf`
In this file, add the following lines:
“`
port = 27017
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1
“`
This will configure MongoDB to listen on port 27017 and bind to localhost.
Step 3: Start MongoDB
Now that we have configured MongoDB, we can start it. To do this, run the following command:
`sudo service mongod start`
This will start the MongoDB service.
Step 4: Check MongoDB Status
The final step is to check the status of MongoDB. To do this, run the following command:
`sudo service mongod status`
This will show you the status of MongoDB and tell you if it is running or not.
