To start MongoDB on Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:
- Open a terminal window and type the following command to check if MongoDB is already installed:
If the command returns a path, then MongoDB is already installed on your system. If it returns "mongod: not found", then you need to install MongoDB.
- If you need to install MongoDB, you can follow these steps:
- Add the MongoDB repository to your system by running the following command:
1
|
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
|
- Add the MongoDB repository to your list of repositories by running the following command:
1
|
$ echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
|
- Update the package list by running the following command:
- Install the latest version of MongoDB by running the following command:
1
|
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
|
- Once MongoDB is installed, you can start the MongoDB daemon by running the following command:
1
|
$ sudo service mongod start
|
This will start the MongoDB daemon and run it in the background. You can check the status of the daemon by running the following command:
1
|
$ sudo service mongod status
|
If the daemon is running, you should see a message indicating that the daemon is active. If it is not running, you can try starting it again or check the logs for any error messages.
- To stop the MongoDB daemon, you can use the following command:
1
|
$ sudo service mongod stop
|
This will stop the MongoDB daemon and close all open connections.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
