How to install MongoDB on CentOS
Document-oriented databases like MongoDB use dynamic schemas to store data in JSON-like documents. In other words, you don’t have to worry about the structure of your database, such as how many fields might there be or the type of fields you might be able to incorporate. As with MongoDB, JSON objects have an equivalent format.
Let’s take a look at how to deploy MongoDB on CentOS, Your system must first be updated first.
Let’s start,
Install MongoDB Community Edition
We use the latest version of MongoDB here. You can adjust this as needed. Use yum to install MongoDB.,
- Create the /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo file for MongoDB.
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo
- Paste the following into the editor:
[mongodb-org-4.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
