Linux installation instructions

Once again, we will face a slightly more challenging installation process with Linux versus Windows or Mac. The official website http://docs.MongoDB.org/manual/administration/install-on-linux/ has great instructions on how to install MongoDB on a number of different Linux distributions.

We will continue to use Ubuntu as our flavor of choice and use the APT package manager for the installation:

    $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 
      7F0CEB10
    $ echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.MongoDB.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart 
     dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/MongoDB.list
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install MongoDB-10gen

Once these steps are completed, MongoDB should be installed and ready to run on your system. Execute the following command in the terminal to be sure. This gets the MongoDB daemon up and running, listening for connections:

    $ mongod
 2017-08-04T10:10:47.853+0530 I NETWORK [thread1] waiting for   
 connections on port 27017

Success! Your MongoDB server is up and running. You can type Ctrl-C to cancel and shut down the server.
