Installing the Database Tools on Linux

The MongoDB Database Tools are a suite of command-line utilities for working with MongoDB. Use this guide to install the Database Tools on the Linux platform.

Versioning

Starting with MongoDB 4.4, the MongoDB Database Tools are now released separately from the MongoDB Server and use their own versioning, with an initial version of 100.0.0 . Previously, these tools were released alongside the MongoDB Server and used matching versioning.

For documentation on the MongoDB 4.2 or earlier versions of these tools, reference the MongoDB Server Documentation for that version of the tool:

Platform Support

Note

EOL Notice

• MongoDB 5.0 Community Edition removes support for Ubuntu 16.04 on x86_64
• MongoDB 5.0 Community Edition removes support for Ubuntu 18.04 on s390x

MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition supports the following 64-bit Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) releases on x86_64 architecture:

• 22.04 LTS («Jammy») (Starting in MongoDB 6.0.4)
• 20.04 LTS («Focal»)

• 16.04 LTS («Xenial»)

MongoDB only supports the 64-bit versions of these platforms.

MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition on Ubuntu also supports the ARM64 architecture on select platforms.

See Platform Support for more information.

Production Notes

Before deploying MongoDB in a production environment, consider the Production Notes document which offers performance considerations and configuration recommendations for production MongoDB deployments.

Official MongoDB Packages

To install MongoDB Community on your Ubuntu system, these instructions will use the official mongodb-org package, which is maintained and supported by MongoDB Inc. The official mongodb-org package always contains the latest version of MongoDB, and is available from its own dedicated repo.

Important

The mongodb package provided by Ubuntu is not maintained by MongoDB Inc. and conflicts with the official mongodb-org package. If you have already installed the mongodb package on your Ubuntu system, you must first uninstall the mongodb package before proceeding with these instructions.

See MongoDB Community Edition Packages for the complete list of official packages.

Install MongoDB Community Edition

Follow these steps to install MongoDB Community Edition using the apt package manager.

Import the public key used by the package management system.

From a terminal, install gnupg and curl if they are not already available:

sudo apt-get install gnupg curl

Issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key from https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-6.0.asc

curl -fsSL https:/ /pgp.mongodb.com/server- 6.0.asc | \
 
sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server- 6.0.gpg \
 
--dearmor

Create a list file for MongoDB.

Create the list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list for your version of Ubuntu.

Click on the appropriate tab for your version of Ubuntu. If you are unsure of what Ubuntu version the host is running, open a terminal or shell on the host and execute lsb_release -dc .

Reload local package database.

Issue the following command to reload the local package database:

Install the MongoDB packages.

You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.

Optional. 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, you can pin the package at the currently installed version:

echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-database hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-mongosh hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Run MongoDB Community Edition

ulimit Considerations Most Unix-like operating systems limit the system resources that a process may use. These limits may negatively impact MongoDB operation, and should be adjusted. See UNIX ulimit Settings for the recommended settings for your platform.

Note

Starting in MongoDB 4.4, a startup error is generated if the ulimit value for number of open files is under 64000 .

If you installed via the package manager, the data directory /var/lib/mongodb and the log directory /var/log/mongodb are created during the installation.

By default, MongoDB runs using the mongodb user account. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must also modify the permission to the data and log directories to give this user access to these directories.

Configuration File The official MongoDB package includes a configuration file ( /etc/mongod.conf ). These settings (such as the data directory and log directory specifications) take effect upon startup. That is, if you change the configuration file while the MongoDB instance is running, you must restart the instance for the changes to take effect.

Procedure

Follow these steps to run MongoDB Community Edition on your system. These instructions assume that you are using the official mongodb-org package — not the unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu — and are using the default settings.

Init System

To run and manage your mongod process, you will be using your operating system’s built-in init system. Recent versions of Linux tend to use systemd (which uses the systemctl command), while older versions of Linux tend to use System V init (which uses the service command).

If you are unsure which init system your platform uses, run the following command:

Then select the appropriate tab below based on the result:

• systemd — select the systemd (systemctl) tab below.
• init — select the System V Init (service) tab below.
