MongoDB is a document-based, general-purpose distributed database designed for modern application developers and for the cloud computing era. No database makes you more productive. In this article, we will look at how to install the latest version of MongoDB

Add MongoDB Public Key

This command adds the GPG MongoDB public key to the system key list:

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

This key is necessary in order to ensure the consistency and authenticity of all packages.

Add MongoDB Storage

First you need to create the mongodb.list file to add the MongoDB repository to the system. You can do this with the following command:

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list

Package Updates

To get information about the latest packages, please nter the command:

apt-get update
