Overview¶
Use this tutorial to install MongoDB Enterprise on LTS Ubuntu Linux systems from
.deb
packages.
Platform Support
MongoDB only provides packages for 64-bit LTS (long-term support) Ubuntu releases. For example, 14.04 LTS (trusty), 16.04 LTS (xenial), and so on. These packages may work with other Ubuntu releases, however, they are not supported.
MongoDB 3.2 is no longer supported on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise).
MongoDB provides officially supported Enterprise packages in their own repository. This repository contains the following packages:
mongodb-enterprise |
A metapackage that will automatically install
the four component packages listed below. |
mongodb-enterprise-server |
Contains the mongod daemon and associated
configuration and init scripts. |
mongodb-enterprise-mongos |
Contains the mongos daemon. |
mongodb-enterprise-shell |
Contains the mongo shell. |
mongodb-enterprise-tools |
Contains the following MongoDB tools: mongoimport
bsondump , mongodump , mongoexport ,
mongofiles , mongooplog ,
mongoperf , mongorestore , mongostat ,
and mongotop . |
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.
MongoDB only provides packages for 64-bit LTS (long-term support) Ubuntu releases. For example, 14.04 LTS (trusty), 16.04 LTS (xenial), and so on. These packages may work with other Ubuntu releases, however, they are not supported.
MongoDB 3.2 is no longer supported on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (precise).
Use the provided distribution packages as described in this page if possible. These packages will automatically install all of MongoDB’s dependencies, and are the recommended installation method.
Import the public key used by the package management system.¶
From a terminal, issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key from https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc:
The operation should respond with an OK
.
Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-enterprise.list
file for MongoDB.¶
Create the list file using the command appropriate for your version of Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu 16.04
If you’d like to install MongoDB Enterprise packages from a particular release series, such as 2.4 or 2.6, you can specify the release series in the repository configuration. For example, to restrict your system to the 2.6 release series, add the following repository:
Reload local package database.¶
Issue the following command to reload the local package database:
Install the MongoDB Enterprise packages.¶
You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.
Install the latest stable version of MongoDB Enterprise.¶
Issue the following command:
Install a specific release of MongoDB Enterprise.¶
To install a specific release, you must specify each component package individually along with the version number, as in the following example:
If you only install mongodb-enterprise=3.2.22
and do not include the
component packages, the latest version of each MongoDB package will be
installed regardless of what version you specified.
Pin a specific version of MongoDB Enterprise.¶
Although you can specify any available version of MongoDB,
apt-get
will upgrade the packages when a newer version
becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the
package. To pin the version of MongoDB at the currently
installed version, issue the following command sequence:
Versions of the MongoDB packages before 2.6 use a different repository location. Refer to the version of the documentation appropriate for your MongoDB version.
Install MongoDB Enterprise From Tarball¶
While you should use the .deb
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/mongodb
and its log files in /var/log/mongodb
by default,
and runs using the mongodb
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/mongodb
and
/var/log/mongodb
directories to give this user access to these
directories.
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.
Uninstall MongoDB¶
To completely remove MongoDB from a system, you must remove the MongoDB applications themselves, the configuration files, and any directories containing data and logs. The following section guides you through the necessary steps.
Warning
This process will completely remove MongoDB, its configuration, and all databases. This process is not reversible, so ensure that all of your configuration and data is backed up before proceeding.
Remove Packages.¶
Remove any MongoDB packages that you had previously installed.
Remove Data Directories.¶
Remove MongoDB databases and log files.
