MongoDB Enterprise Edition Installation – Ubuntu

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 database 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.

MongoDB Inc. has also released Enterprise Edition (EE) of the database.  Installation of MongoDB EE, like its operations,  is very simple and straight forward.  We will take a look here for installation of MongoDB EE on Ubuntu.

Very first step to install any version of MongoDB on any unix platform is to Import the public key used by the package management system.  By importing this public key, Ubuntu or any unix package management tools is able to ensure authenticity by requiring that distributors sign packages with GPG keys.  Since, the packages are signed by GPG keys, Ubuntu can believe on integrity of these packages as well.

sanjeeva@mishika:~$ sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

sanjeeva@mishika:~$

Once public key are imported into the system, we have to create the list of files for MongoDB.  This will be created into “sources.list.d” folder in apt of etc.

sanjeeva@mishika:~$ echo “deb [ arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el,s390x ] http://repo.mongodb.com/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-enterprise/3.4 multiverse” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-enterprise.list
deb [ arch=amd64,arm64,ppc64el,s390x ] http://repo.mongodb.com/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-enterprise/3.4 multiverse
sanjeeva@mishika:~$

After creating list of files for MongoDB, we have to reload the local package database.  To achieve this we have to execute update on package management tool.

Now system is ready for installation of MongoDB.  By default it will install the latest stable version but we can control this behavior and can install any specific version of database.  In case if we want to install any specific version then we have to supply the version of all packages which MongoDB is going to install.

In all cases database is going to install five packages which is required in order to run MongoDB. Details of these packages are:

  • mongodb-enterprise :A metapackage that will automatically install the four component packages listed below.
  • mongodb-enterprise-server: Contains the mongod daemon and associated configuration and init scripts.
  • mongodb-enterprise-mongos: Contains the mongos daemon.
  • mongodb-enterprise-shell: Contains the mongo shell.
  • mongodb-enterprise-tools: Contains the following MongoDB tools:
    1. mongoimport
    2. bsondump,
    3. mongodump,
    4. mongoexport,
    5. mongofiles,
    6. mongooplog,
    7. mongoperf,
    8. mongorestore,
    9. mongostat, and
    10. mongotop.

To Install MongoDB EE by Default we have to execute “sudo apt-get” package management tool on Ubuntu.

sanjeeva@mishika:~$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-enterprise

Once installation is complete, MongoDB EE can be started:

sanjeeva@mishika:~$ sudo service mongod start

You can connect to the MongoDB EE now.
