Step 2: Extract the tar file. After the tar file is downloaded extract it using the below command:
tar -xvzf mongodb-bi-linux-{arch}-{platform}-{version}.tgz (general command)
tar -xvzf mongodb-bi-linux-x86_64-rhel80-v2.14.5.tgz (In our case)
Step 3: Add the programs in the bin/ directory to the system PATH. After the tar file has been extracted cd to the extracted directory and add the newly installed programs in the bin/ directory to your system’s PATH. Use the below command:
sudo install -m755 bin/mongo* /usr/local/bin/
With this step, the Bi connector is successfully installed on the RedHat Linux (CentOS system).
