Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n- Ubuntu Server 18.04 – 64 bit<\/li>\n
- Root privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What we will do in this tutorial:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Install MongoDB<\/li>\n

Install MongoDB on Ubuntu 18.04<\/h2>\nStep 1 – Importing the Public Key<\/h3>\n
GPG keys of the software distributor are required by the Ubuntu package manager apt (Advanced Package Tool) to ensure package consistency and authenticity. Run this command to import MongoDB keys to your server.<\/p>\n
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp:\/\/keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5<\/span><\/p>\nStep 2 – Create source list file MongoDB<\/h3>\n
Create a MongoDB list file in \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/<\/span>\u00a0with this command:<\/p>\necho “deb http:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu xenial\/mongodb-org\/3.6 multiverse” | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/mongodb-org-3.6.list<\/span><\/p>\nMongoDB has not released packages for Bionic Beaver yet, but the Xenial packages are working fine on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. You might check out the URL\u00a0http:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu\/dists\/<\/a>\u00a0though before you execute the above command. If you see a directory ‘bionic’ on that web page, then replace the word ‘xenial’ in the above command with the word ‘bionic’.<\/p>\nStep 3 – Update the repository<\/h3>\n
update the repository with the apt command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update<\/p>\n
Step 4 – Install MongoDB<\/h3>\n
Now you can install MongoDB by typing this command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org<\/p>\n
The MongoDB apt installer created a mongod.service file for Systemd automatically, so there is no need to create it manually anymore.<\/p>\n
Start MongoDB and add it as\u00a0a service to be started at boot time:<\/p>\n
systemctl start mongod
systemctl enable mongod<\/p>\n
Now check that\u00a0MongoDB\u00a0has been started on port 27017 with the\u00a0netstat command.<\/p>\n
netstat -plntu<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nConfigure MongoDB username and password<\/h2>\n
When the MongoDB packages are installed you can configure username and password for the database server:<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Open mongo shell<\/h3>\n
Before you set up a username and password for MongoDB, you need to open the\u00a0MongoDB shell on your server. You can login by typing:<\/p>\n
mongo<\/p>\n
If you get error Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and\/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly<\/span>, try the command:<\/p>\nexport LC_ALL=C
mongo<\/p>\n
Step 2 – Switch to the database admin<\/h3>\n
Once you`re in the MongoDB shell, switch to the database named admin<\/em>:<\/p>\nuse admin<\/p>\n
Step 3 – Create the root user<\/h3>\n
Create the root user with this command :<\/p>\n
db.createUser({user:”admin”, pwd:”admin123″, roles:[{role:”root”, db:”admin”}]})<\/p>\n
Desc:<\/strong> Create user admin<\/span> with password admin123<\/span> and have the permission\/role as root and the database is admin<\/em>.<\/p>\n![\"Create](\"https:\/\/afaghhosting.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/how-to-install-and-configure-mongodb-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-1.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nNow type exit<\/span> to exit from MongoDB shell.<\/p>\nStep 4 – Enable mongodb authentication<\/h3>\n
Edit the mongodb service file ‘\/lib\/systemd\/system\/mongod.service’<\/span>\u00a0with your editor.<\/p>\nnano \/lib\/systemd\/system\/mongod.service<\/p>\n
On the ‘ExecStart<\/em>‘ line 9, add the new option ‘–auth<\/em>‘.<\/p>\nExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/mongod –auth –config \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/p>\n
Save the service file and exit nano.<\/p>\n
Reload the systemd service:<\/p>\n
systemctl daemon-reload<\/p>\n
Step 5 – Restart MongoDB and try to connect<\/h3>\n
Now restart MongoDB and connect with the user created.<\/p>\n
sudo service mongod restart<\/p>\n
and connect to the MongoDB shell with this command:<\/p>\n
mongo -u admin -p admin123 –authenticationDatabase admin<\/p>\n
and you will see the output like this:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nVirtual Machine image<\/h2>\n
This tutorial is available as ready to use virtual machine in OVA \/ OVF format for Howtoforge subscribers. The VM format is compatible with VMWare and Virtualbox and other tools that can import the ova or\u00a0ovf format. You can find the download link in the right menu on the top. Click on the filename to start the download.<\/p>\n
The login details of the VM are:<\/p>\n
SSH Login<\/h3>\n
Username:\u00a0administrator
Password: howtoforge<\/p>\n
The administrator user has sudo permissions.<\/p>\n
Please change the passwords after the first boot.<\/span><\/p>\nThe VM is configured for the static IP 192.168.1.100. Instructions on how to change the static IP can be found here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\n
A well-known NoSQL database that offers high performance, high availability, and automatic scaling is MongoDB<\/strong>. It is different from the RDBMS such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite as it does not use SQL to set and retrieve data. MongoDB stores data in `documents`<\/strong> called BSON<\/strong> (binary representation of JSON with additional types of information). MongoDB\u00a0is only available for 64-bit<\/strong> Long Term Support Ubuntu Release.<\/p>\n\nShare this page:<\/b><\/p>\n
