$ sudo apt install -y mongodb-org<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nStep 5: Start and Enable MongoDB Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Once the installation is complete, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo systemctl start mongod\n$ sudo systemctl enable mongod<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo check the status of the MongoDB service, use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo systemctl status mongod<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou should see output indicating that MongoDB is active and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Verify the Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n To verify that MongoDB was installed and is running correctly, you can connect to the MongoDB shell using the mongo<\/code> command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ mongo --eval 'db.runCommand({ connectionStatus: 1 })'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIf MongoDB is running properly, you will see output showing the connection status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 7: Configure MongoDB (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nMongoDB Configuration File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The MongoDB configuration file is located at \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/code>. You can edit this file to change the default configuration settings. For example, to change the bind IP address to allow remote connections, you can modify the bindIp<\/code> setting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n$ sudo nano \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nFind the net<\/code> section and update the bindIp<\/code> value:<\/p>\n\n\n\nnet:\n port: 27017\n bindIp: 0.0.0.0<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSave the file and exit. Then, restart the MongoDB service to apply the changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo systemctl restart mongod<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCreate an Administrative User<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To secure your MongoDB installation, it is recommended to create an administrative user. First, connect to the MongoDB shell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ mongo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSwitch to the admin<\/code> database:<\/p>\n\n\n\nuse admin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCreate a new administrative user with a username and password of your choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
db.createUser({\n user: "admin",\n pwd: "yourpassword",\n roles: [{ role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" }]\n})<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nExit the MongoDB shell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
exit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nEnable Authentication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n To enable authentication, edit the MongoDB configuration file again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo nano \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nFind the security<\/code> section and enable authorization:<\/p>\n\n\n\nsecurity:\n authorization: "enabled"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSave the file and exit. Then, restart the MongoDB service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ sudo systemctl restart mongod<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nNow, you need to authenticate as the administrative user to perform any actions in the MongoDB shell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$ mongo -u admin -p --authenticationDatabase admin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n You have successfully installed MongoDB Community Edition on your Ubuntu<\/a> 24.04 Noble Numbat system.
