How to Install MongoDB 7 on Ubuntu 22.04

MongoDB is a NoSQL database management system designed to store and manage data in a document format. Unlike traditional relational databases that use tables and rows, MongoDB stores data in documents structured in BSON (Binary JSON) format. These documents are similar to JSON objects and can store complex and diverse data structures.

Some key features of MongoDB:

Flexible Documents: Data is stored in BSON documents, allowing each document to have a different schema. This facilitates rapid development and iteration.
Horizontal Scalability: MongoDB supports sharding, enabling data distribution across multiple servers, enhancing availability and scalability.
Indexing: MongoDB supports various types of indexes to speed up data searches, including field, text, and geospatial indexes.
Aggregation: MongoDB has a powerful aggregation framework for batch data processing and real-time analytics.
Replication Support: MongoDB uses replication to provide automatic failover and improve data availability.

MongoDB is often used in applications that require unstructured or semi-structured data storage, such as sensor data, application logs, social media data, and more. MongoDB is also popular for developing modern applications like web, mobile, and cloud apps due to its flexibility and scalability.

Install MongoDB

In this tutorial, we will install MongoDB Community Edition. MongoDB Community Edition is the open-source version of MongoDB that can be used for free. This version offers most of MongoDB’s core features and is suitable for application development, personal projects, and small to medium-sized production environments. MongoDB Community Edition is ideal for developers who want to leverage MongoDB technology at no cost, but with some limitations on advanced security features and support available in the commercial version, MongoDB Enterprise Edition.

curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc | \

sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \

--dearmor

Create the MongoDB repository file:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

1	echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list
