Install MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic)

The following tutorial uses a package manager to install MongoDB 4.0 Community Edition on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic) systems.

TL;DR

{
  wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
  echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install mongodb-org -y

  sudo service mongod start
}

Verify that the mongod process has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log for a line reading [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017

sudo tail /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log | grep waiting

2019-08-07T14:23:19.938+0000 I NETWORK  [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017

Install MongoDB Community Edition using `.deb` Packages

Check your Ubuntu version

lsb_release -dc

Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Codename:       bionic

Import the public key used by the package management system

From a terminal, issue the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG Key from https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc:

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

The operation should respond with an OK.

OK

Create a list file for MongoDB

Create the list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic):

echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse

Reload local package database.

Issue the following command to reload the local package database:

sudo apt update

Install the MongoDB packages

You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.

To install the latest stable version, issue the following

sudo apt install mongodb-org -y

...
...
Adding system user `mongodb' (UID 112) ...
Adding new user `mongodb' (UID 112) with group `nogroup' ...

Run MongoDB Community Edition

Start MongoDB

mongod is the primary daemon process for the MongoDB system. It handles data requests, manages data access, and performs background management operations.

Issue the following command to start mongod:

sudo service mongod start

Verify that MongoDB has started successfully

27017 is the default port the standalone mongod listens on.

You may see non-critical warnings in the mongod output. As long as you see the log line shown above, you can safely ignore these warnings during your initial evaluation of MongoDB.

sudo tail /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

Begin using MongoDB

mongo is an interactive JavaScript shell interface to MongoDB, which provides a powerful interface for system administrators as well as a way for developers to test queries and operations directly with the database. mongo also provides a fully functional JavaScript environment for use with a MongoDB. The mongo shell is part of the MongoDB distributions.

Start a mongo shell on the same host machine as the mongod. You can run the mongo shell without any command-line options to connect to a mongod that is running on your localhost with default port 27017:

mongo

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display
metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).

The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you
and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product
improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.

To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
To permanently disable this reminder, run the following command: db.disableFreeMonitoring()

Getting Started with MongoDB CRUD Operations

Create

db.collection.insertOne() inserts a single document into a collection.

db.inventory.insertOne({
  item: "canvas",
  qty: 100,
  tags: ["cotton"],
  size: { h: 28, w: 35.5, uom: "cm" }
});

{
  "acknowledged": true,
  "insertedId": ObjectId("5d4ad0b32df60d2af78da2ac")
}

Read

To retrieve the document that you just inserted, query the collection:

db.inventory.find({ item: "canvas" });

{
  "_id": ObjectId("5d4ad0b32df60d2af78da2ac"),
  "item": "canvas",
  "qty": 100,
  "tags": ["cotton"],
  "size": { "h": 28, "w": 35.5, "uom": "cm" }
}

Update

The following example uses the db.collection.updateOne() method on the inventory collection to update the first document where item equals "canvas":

db.inventory.updateOne(
  { item: "canvas" },
  {
    $set: { status: "P" },
    $currentDate: { lastModified: true }
  }
);

{ "acknowledged": true, "matchedCount": 1, "modifiedCount": 1 }

Retreive the document and verify the update

db.inventory.find({ item: "canvas" });

{
  "_id": ObjectId("5d4ad0b32df60d2af78da2ac"),
  "item": "canvas",
  "qty": 100,
  "tags": ["cotton"],
  "size": { "h": 28, "w": 35.5, "uom": "cm" },
  "lastModified": ISODate("2019-08-07T13:24:42.233Z"),
  "status": "P"
}

Delete

The following example deletes all documents from the inventory collection:

db.inventory.deleteMany({});

{ "acknowledged": true, "deletedCount": 1 }

To select all documents in the collection, pass an empty document as the query filter parameter to the find method.

db.inventory.find({});

You will get no response
