In case you face any issues, refer official docs
a. Import the public key used by the package management system.
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -
b. Create a list file for MongoDB
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
c. Reload local package database.
sudo apt-get update
d. Install the MongoDB packages
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
e. Optional. Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB
echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-shell hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
a. Create a directory to store data
sudo mkdir /data
sudo mkdir /data/db
b. Grant required permissions
sudo chown -R `id -un` /data/db
# start mongodb service
sudo service mongod start
# Check status of the service
sudo service mongod status
sudo mongod
The above command will start a MongoDB instance running on your local machine. I will pick a port to run the database, possibly it will be 27017, so your db will be hosted at
mongodb://localhost:27017/
Here you can execute your db queries. Initialize the shell by following command
mongo
