    RahulBy Updated:2 Mins Read

    MongoDB is a fully flexible index support and rich queries database. It is classified as a NoSQL database program, which uses JSON-like documents with optional schemas. Similar to the relational database system, It also supports joins in queries.

    MongoDB has released a new stable version 4.4 with lots of major enhancements. This tutorial will help you to install MongoDB 4.4 on Fedora Linux systems.

    Step 1 – Configure Repository

    The MongoDB official team provides an Yum repository for installing MongoDB on a Fedora system. Create a new configuration file with Mongodb yum repository. Edit a file in a editor:

    sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

    Add the below content

    [Mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/8/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc

    Save the file and close it.

    Step 2 – Install MongoDB on Fedora

    Let’s use the DNF package manager to install the MongoDB server on the Fedora system. This will also install all required dependencies to your system.

    To install MongoDB on Fedora, type:

    sudo dnf install mongodb-org mongodb-org-server

    Install Mongodb in Fedora

    Step 3 – Start MongoDB Service

    MongoDB server has been installed on your Fedora systems. Let’s enable the MongoDB systemd service and start it.

    sudo systemctl enable mongod.service 
sudo systemctl start mongod.service

    Once the service is started, check the current status with the following command.

    sudo systemctl status mongod.service

    Manage MongoDB service in Fedora

    Step 4 – Connect to MongoDB Shell

    Use the following command to check the installed MongoDB version

    mongod --version 

db version v4.4.4
Build Info: {
    "version": "4.4.4",
    "gitVersion": "8db30a63db1a9d84bdcad0c83369623f708e0397",
    "openSSLVersion": "OpenSSL 1.1.1k  FIPS 25 Mar 2021",
    "modules": [],
    "allocator": "tcmalloc",
    "environment": {
        "distmod": "rhel80",
        "distarch": "x86_64",
        "target_arch": "x86_64"
    }
}

    Connect MongoDB using the command line and execute some test commands for checking proper working.

    mongo 

> use mydb;

> db.test.save({ tecadmin: 1001 })

> db.test.find()

{ "_id" : ObjectId("60d472f31f5ba51557c8b066"), "tecadmin" : 1001 }

      Hey Rahul, Great tutorial on installing MangoDB on a Fedora. I run a blog that’s on VPS. Since the website (kidhealthcenter.com) receives few thousands visitors per day, the error log that the file creates, grows into 20GB and more in matters of a week time.

      I would appreciate if you could provide tutorial on how to manage the space on the server and find files and folders that consumes huge amount of space and ways to clean them.
