MongoDB Documentation, Release 3.0.4 sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org=3.0.4 mongodb-org-server=3.0.4 mongodb-org-shell=3.0.4 Install a specific release of MongoDB. To install a specific release, you must specify each component package individually along with the version number, as in the following example: Install the latest stable version of MongoDB. Issue the following command: sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org If you only install mongodb-org=3.0.4 and do not include the component packages, the latest version of each MongoDB package will be installed regardless of what version you specified. Pin a specific version of MongoDB. 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, pin the package. To pin the version of MongoDB at the currently installed version, issue the following command sequence: echo "mongodb-org hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-server hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-shell hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-mongos hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo "mongodb-org-tools hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections Versions of the MongoDB packages before 2.6 use a different repository location. Refer to the version of the docu- mentation appropriate for your MongoDB version. Run MongoDB The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongodb and its log files in /var/log/mongodb by default, and runs using the mongodb user account. You can specify alternate log and data file directories in /etc/mongod.conf . See systemLog.path and storage.dbPath for additional in- formation. If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories to give this user access to these directories. Step 1: Start MongoDB. Issue the following command to start mongod : sudo service mongod start Step 2: Verify that MongoDB has started successfully Verify that the mongod process has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log for a line reading [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port <port> where <port> is the port configured in /etc/mongod.conf , 27017 by default. Step 3: Stop MongoDB. As needed, you can stop the mongod process by issuing the following command: sudo service mongod stop Step 4: Restart MongoDB. Issue the following command to restart mongod : sudo service mongod restart 21 2.3. Installation Guides
