How To Install MongoDB Server On CentOS 7 64bit

MongoDB server will be installed from official MongoDB YUM repository which only supports 64bit systems.

Create the repo file /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.2.repo which following contents:

Code (Text):

[mongodb-org-4.2]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc

Then do yum install

Code (Text):

yum -y install mongodb-org

which will install the following YUM packages

• mongodb-org
• mongodb-org-mongos
• mongodb-org-server

Start and ensure MongoD service starts on reboot

Code (Text):

chkconfig mongod on

Checking MongoDB version via mongo shell

mongo --version
MongoDB shell version v4.0.0
git version: 3b07af3d4f471ae89e8186d33bbb1d5259597d51
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
