To start MongoDB in Linux, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Change to the MongoDB bin directory by typing the following command:
1
cd /path/to/mongodb/bin


  1. Start the MongoDB server by typing the following command:
1
./mongod


  1. The MongoDB server will start and run in the background. You can check the status of the server by typing:
1
./mongo


This will open the MongoDB shell, which you can use to interact with the MongoDB server.


If you want to start the MongoDB server as a daemon, you can use the following command:

1
./mongod --fork


This will start the MongoDB server in the background and return control to the terminal. You can check the status of the server by looking at the log files in the /var/log/mongodb directory.


Note: The exact location of the MongoDB bin directory may vary depending on how you installed MongoDB.
