The main purpose of this article is how to install MongoDB on Ubuntu Server(single node). Follow the steps below for the installation one by one.

Step1:

Install Mongodb Packages on Ubuntu

Ubuntu’s official package repositories contain an updated version of MongoDB; which means we can install the required packages using apt.

First, update the package list to have the latest version of the repository lists:

sudo apt update

1	sudo apt update

Now install the MongoDB package.

sudo apt install -y mongodb

1	sudo apt install -y mongodb

This command installs several packages containing the latest version of MongoDB, as well as useful management tools for the MongoDB server. The database server is started automatically after installation.

Next, let’s verify that the server is working correctly.

Step 2:

Checking mongodb Service and Database on Ubuntu

The installation process started MongoDB automatically, but let’s verify that the service is started and the database is running.

Check mongodb status on ubuntu

sudo systemctl status mongodb

1	sudo systemctl status mongodb

You will see this output:

mongodb.service - An object/document-oriented database
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-07-05 07:45:45 +03; 14min ago
     Docs: man:mongod(1)
 Main PID: 39953 (mongod)
   CGroup: /system.slice/mongodb.service
           └─39953 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf

mongodb.service - An object/document-oriented database

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-07-05 07:45:45 +03; 14min ago

Docs: man:mongod(1)

Main PID: 39953 (mongod)

CGroup: /system.slice/mongodb.service

└─39953 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongodb.conf

MongoDB server is running.

We can really verify this by connecting to the database server and executing a diagnostic command.

Execute this command:

mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'

1	mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'

Command Output:

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
connecting to: test
[object Object]

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10

connecting to: test

[object Object]

Step 3:

Managing MongoDB Service

MongoDB is installed as a system service, so you can also manage it using standard system commands.

Check Mongodb Service Status

sudo systemctl status mongodb

1	sudo systemctl status mongodb

Stop Mongodb Service

sudo systemctl stop mongodb

1	sudo systemctl stop mongodb

Start Mongodb Service

sudo systemctl start mongodb

1	sudo systemctl start mongodb

Restart Mongodb Service

sudo systemctl restart mongodb

1	sudo systemctl restart mongodb

By default, MongoDB is configured to start automatically with the server. If you want to disable auto start, type:

sudo systemctl disable mongodb

1	sudo systemctl disable mongodb

It is very easy to re-enable. To do this, use:

sudo systemctl enable mongodb

1	sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Connect to Mongodb

After our installations are completed successfully, we provide Connection with mongo command.

mongo

mongo

List Mongodb Databases

show dbs

show dbs

Show Connected Mongodb Database Name

db

Switch To Another Database

use demo

use demo

List Mongodb Commands

db.help()

db.help()

Check MongoDB Statistics

db.stats()

1	db.stats()

Good luck with.
