MongoDB is one of the document oriented open source database developed in c++, first come into shape in 2007 when in order to overcome the shortfall of existing database while working for an advertising company “DoubleClick” development team has decided to go further rather than struggling with database. The team of this advertising company was frustrated with their existing DB as the team was struggling for scalability and agility both on their existing DB. While facing such issues Dwight Merriman, Eliot Horowitz and Kevin Ryan has got an idea and they took this up further to develop MongoDB. They have founded MongoDB Inc.
Like any other DB MongoDB also supports multi platform. MongoDB Inc. has released many binaries of every version which runs on different platform like OSx, Windows and different flavour of Unix like RedHat, SUSE, Amazon Linux etc. Besides these there are enterprise edition releases as well which also supports on various platform.
Un-installation of MongoDB is pretty straight forward.
In first step you have to stop the instances running on the server which we are going to remove. To stop this, we have to execute:
service mongodb stop
Once instances are shutdown, we can proceed with the un-installation of MongoDB.
