Step 1: Update the System

Before you begin installing MongoDB, it’s always a good idea to update your system packages to ensure everything is up-to-date. Run the following commands:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Add MongoDB Repository

MongoDB is not included in the default AlmaLinux repositories, so you need to add it manually. Run the following command to create a repo file for MongoDB:

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-6.0.repo <

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Once the repository is added, you can install MongoDB by running the following command:

sudo dnf install -y mongodb-org

After the installation is complete, enable and start the MongoDB service:

sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod
        

Step 4: Verify MongoDB Installation

To verify that MongoDB has been installed and is running, use the following command:

sudo systemctl status mongod

You should see output indicating that MongoDB is active and running.

Step 5: Configure MongoDB

By default, MongoDB is configured to listen on localhost (127.0.0.1). If you want to allow remote access, you will need to edit the MongoDB configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/mongod.conf

In the file, find the line bindIp: 127.0.0.1 and change it to bindIp: 0.0.0.0 to allow access from any IP address. After saving the file, restart MongoDB:

sudo systemctl restart mongod
