Install MongoDB Community Edition<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

1. Import the public key used by the package management system<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From a terminal, install gnupg<\/code> and curl<\/code> if they are not already available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a list file for MongoDB<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Create the \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/mongodb-org-7.0.list<\/code> file for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
echo<\/span> <\/span>"deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=\/usr\/share\/keyrings\/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu jammy\/mongodb-org\/7.0 multiverse"<\/span> <\/span>|<\/span> <\/span>sudo<\/span> <\/span>tee<\/span> <\/span>\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/mongodb-org-7.0.list<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
3. Reload local package database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>

<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>apt-get<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>-y<\/span> <\/span>mongodb-org<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
4. Install the MongoDB Compass (GUI Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Easily explore and manipulate your database with Compass, the GUI for MongoDB. Intuitive and flexible, Compass provides detailed schema visualizations, real-time performance metrics, sophisticated querying abilities, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
sudo<\/span> <\/span>apt-get<\/span> <\/span>install<\/span> <\/span>-y<\/span> <\/span>mongodb-org<\/span><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Run MongoDB Community Edition<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Start MongoDB.<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/circle><\/circle><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span>
