MongoDB: Effortless Installation and Setup on Arch based Linux

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.
