Installing and Setting Up MongoDB on Arch Linux
MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database, and setting it up on Arch Linux is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the installation steps, including the necessary dependencies and configurations.
Step 1: Install OpenSSL
Begin by installing OpenSSL, a prerequisite for MongoDB:
sudo pacman -S openssl
Step 2: Install mongosh
Next, you'll need to install mongosh
, the official MongoDB Shell. Clone the mongosh-bin
repository from the Arch User Repository (AUR):
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/mongosh-bin.git
Navigate into the cloned directory and build and install mongosh
:
cd mongosh-bin
makepkg -si
Step 3: Install MongoDB
Now, you can proceed to install MongoDB itself. Clone the mongodb-bin
repository from the AUR:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/mongodb-bin.git
Navigate into the cloned directory and build and install MongoDB:
cd mongodb-bin
makepkg -si
This step may take a few minutes.
Step 4: Start MongoDB Service
After successfully installing MongoDB, start the MongoDB service:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
Step 5: Access MongoDB Shell
To access the MongoDB shell, simply type:
mongosh
Congratulations! You've successfully installed and set up MongoDB on your Arch Linux system. You can now begin working with MongoDB databases using the powerful mongosh
shell.
Good Luck See you next time...
