Installing MongoDB Using RPM Package

Step 1: Download RPM package from MongoDB website.

We will need to download these 6 mongoDB package from official mongoDB RPM repository to get complete featurs of mongodb. We will use wget command for that.

Package 1: mongodb-org

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-7.0.6-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Package 2: mongodb-mongosh

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-mongosh-2.1.5.x86_64.rpm

Package 3: mongodb-org-mongos

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-mongos-7.0.6-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Package 4: mongodb-org-tools

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-tools-7.0.6-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Package 5: mongodb-org-database

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-database-7.0.6-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Package 6: mongodb-org-server

wget https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-server-7.0.5-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

Step 2: Install MongoDB

Installing dependencies:

cyrus-sasl and openssl are the dependencies that are required by some packages, we will install those dependencies first before installing .rpm packages using yum package manager.

sudo yum install cyrus-sasl openssl -y

We will use rpm -i command to install the downloaded rpm package.

Syntax: sudo rpm -i <package-name>

sudo rpm -i mongodb-*

Installation is completed. Now you can move on to starting services section.

MongoDB is a flexible, powerful, and super-fast database management system. Unlike those old-school databases with strict rules, MongoDB lets you store your data in flexible documents, similar to how you organize things in JSON. This means you can easily add new information or change things up without much hassle.

In this article, we will install MongoDB on CentOS using two methods.
