Step 1 – Configure Dnf Repository

Add the following content in yum repository configuration file mongodb.repo as per your required MongoDB version and system architecture. For this article, we are using MongoDB 4.2 repository.

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

[Mongodb]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc

Step 2 – Install MongoDB on Fedora

Let’s use the yum package manager to install mongodb-org package, it will automatically install all its dependencies. To install any specific revision of MongoDB specify package name with version like mongodb-org-4.2.1. The following command will install the latest stable version available.

sudo dnf install mongodb-org

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

In case you found an issue that no service available with name mongod, then create a file

sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service

and add the following content

[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Database Server
Documentation=https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
After=network.target

[Service]
User=mongod
Group=mongod
Environment="OPTIONS=-f /etc/mongod.conf"
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/mongod
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod $OPTIONS
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/mongodb
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chown mongod:mongod /var/run/mongodb
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chmod 0755 /var/run/mongodb
PermissionsStartOnly=true
PIDFile=/var/run/mongodb/mongod.pid

# Recommended limits for for mongod as specified in
# http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/ulimit/#recommended-settings

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then again try to start and enable the service using the above given commands.

Step 4 – Check MongoDB Version

Use the following command to check installed MongoDB version

mongod --version

db version v4.2.1
git version: edf6d45851c0b9ee15548f0f847df141764a317e
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.2o-fips  27 Mar 2018
allocator: tcmalloc
modules: none
build environment:
    distmod: amazon
    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("5db95934d72ec4110b4d79ec"), "tecadmin" : 1001 }
