MongoDB install on Centos using tgz/tarball

HI There,

You can download your desired Mongodb version from mongodb download section.

https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/charts

In my case i have downloaded 3.6

create the directories manually and change the permission, you need to create data directory, logfile directory and your binary location.

In my case,

mkdir -p data  -- for data dir
mkdir -p log_db_01 -- for logfile
touch /home/mongod/log_db_01/mongodb.log -- create logfile
mkdir -p mongodb_3.6 -- for binaries

change the ownership to mongod:mongod

unzip the tgz file

$ tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel70-3.6.13.tgz -C /home/mongod/

you can see a folder names mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel70-3.6.13, you can rename it as you want.

Use below command to start mongod in background
mongod --dbpath /home/mongod/data/ --port 12345 --logpath /home/mongod/log_db_01/mongodb.log --logappend --fork


connect to mongo shell

 mongo --port 12345
