Topic: MongoDB 5.0 Enterprise server installation on Linux 8.
2 using binary
In this QuickStart, we learn how to:
Section A: Prerequisite
• Install net-snmp package
• Create mongo user
• create necessary directories required for mongoDB configuration
• copy archive on Linux server
• set bash Profile
Section B: mongoDB configuration
• create the key-file and set permissions
• create config file for mongoDB instance
• Start mongoDB instance
• Connect mongoDB database

System configuration Details
Linux version CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
mongodb-linux-x86_64-enterprise-rhel70-
Database version 5.0.0
Host name mongo.example.com
Port Number 27017
Data Directory /u01/app/mongo/data
Config file Directory /u01/app/mongo/config
Log Directory /u01/app/mongo/data/data.log
Section A: Prerequisite
• Install net-snmp package
• Create mongodb user
• create necessary directories required for mongoDB configuration
• Insert below parameter to /etc/security/limits.conf
###############Mongo Setting #############
mongodb soft nproc 64000
mongodb hard nproc 64000
mongodb soft nofile 64000
mongodb hard nofile 64000
• copy archive on Linux server
• set bash profile
export PATH=/u01/app/mongo/product/5.0.0/bin:$PATH
export MONGO_HOME=/u01/app/mongo/product/5.0.0/bin
Note: you can connect to mongo shell using mongo -nodb command without mongoDB configuration
Section B: mongoDB configuration
• create the key-file and setting permissions on it
[mongodb@mongo product]$ openssl rand -base64 741 >
/u01/app/mongo/pkey/dev1-key
chmod 600 /u01/app/mongo/pkey/dev1-key
• create config file for dev1 mongoDB instance. In this example I have created separate
config directory to store mongoDB instance configuration file.
[mongodb@mongo config]$ pwd
/u01/app/mongo/config
# mongod.conf
# for documentation of all options, see:
# http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/
# where to write logging data.

# Where and how to store data.

• Start mongoDB instance
• Connect database using port number.
INFORMATION: If Security parameter is enabled in configuration file, then create admin user after first
login. We will discuss more about the user creation in mongoDB operation and mongoDB Security
section.
• Connect database using admin (normal user) user
Topic: Configure mongosh 1.0.4
• Download the latest mongosh version
• Create directory for mongosh binaries
[mongodb@mongo ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/mongo/mongosh
• Unzip binaries to mongosh directory
• set bash Profile
export PATH=/u01/app/mongo/mongosh/1.0.4/bin:$PATH
export MONGO_HOME=/u01/app/mongo/mongosh/1.0.4/bin
• connect mongoDB Using mongosh
[mongodb@mongo bin]$ mongosh "mongodb://mongo.example.com:27017" --
username admin --authenticationDatabase admin --norc
