How To Install MongoDB in Fedora 36/35

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, the MongoDB database 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 

Step 3 – Start MongoDB Service

MongoDB server has been installed on your Fedora systems. Now 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 

Step 4 – Connect to MongoDB Shell

As you have completed the MongoDB installation on your Fedora Linux system. First of all, verify the installed MongoDB version on your system with the following command.

mongod --version 

Output:
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"
    }
}

Now, connect to the MongoDB shell using the mongo command-line utility. Also, execute some test commands for checking proper working.

mongo 

> use mydb;

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

> db.test.find()

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