Mongo Installation on RHEL VM

To install mongo on a red hat VM , download the rpm files from mongo website according to the RHEL version you are using and the mongo version you want:

https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/

For my case, i am using a RHEL 7 VM here and installing mongo 4.0.6 version,

1. Download the  below rpm files from website and copy to VM
mongodb-org-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mongodb-org-mongos-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mongodb-org-server-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mongodb-org-shell-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mongodb-org-tools-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

2.Install the rpms on the VM in the below order:
  a. rpm -ivh mongodb-org-shell-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
  b.  rpm -ivh mongodb-org-tools-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
  c.  rpm -ivh mongodb-org-server-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
  d. rpm -ivh mongodb-org-mongos-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
  e. rpm -ivh mongodb-org-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

3.Start the mongod process to start working with mongo

systemctl start mongod

4.Check if the mongod process has started by :

systemctl status mongod

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; enabled)

   Active: active (running) since Wed 2010-09-15 04:30:14 PDT; 3min 22s ago

ps -ef |grep mongod

mongod     4696      1  0 04:30 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf

5. If you want to edit any default startup parameters like port, db path etc, you can do it by editing /etc/mongod.conf file and restarting mongod process by using systemctl restart mongod

6.Start a mongo shell to start working on mongo database

[root@localhost ~]# mongo

MongoDB shell version v4.0.6

connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?gssapiServiceName=mongodb

Implicit session: session { "id" : UUID("036d0f9a-7fe7-4b11-9555-750f50d75dea") }

MongoDB server version: 4.0.6
