Follow the means underneath to install MongoDB Linux from the most recent stable form of MongoDB on your CentOS server:
- Enabling MongoDB repository
To add the MongoDB vault to your system, open your test editor and make another YUM repository setup document named mongodb-org.repo inside the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory:
/etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org.repo
[mongodb-org-4.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1

$ sudo yum install mongodb-org
During the installation yum will provoke you to import the MongoDB GPG key. Type y and hit Enter.
The accompanying bundles will be introduced on your framework as a piece of the mongodb-org bundle:
- mongodb-org-server- The mongod daemon and relating init scripts and arrangements.
- mongodb-org-mongos- The mongos daemon.
- mongodb-org-shell- The mongo shell, an intuitive JavaScript interface to MongoDB, is utilized to perform regulatory assignments through the order line.
- mongodb-org-tools- Contains a few MongoDB apparatuses for bringing in and sending out information, insights, just as different utilities.
- Starting MongoDB
When the installation is finished, start the MongoDB daemon and enable it to begin on boot by typing:
$ sudo systemctl start mongod
$ sudo systemctl enable mongod
- Verifying MongoDB Installation
To check the establishment we will interface with the MongoDB database server utilizing the mongo tool and print the server version:
$ mongo
When you are inside the MongoDB shell type the accompanying order which will show the MongoDB version:
db.version()
The output will resemble the accompanying:
Output
4.0.1
Configuring MongoDB
You can design your MongoDB example by altering the /etc/mongod.conf setup record, which is written in YAML.
The default setup settings are adequate as a rule. Notwithstanding, for creation conditions we suggest uncommenting the security area and empowering approval as displayed beneath:
/etc/mongod.conf
security:
authorization: enabled
The authorization option empowers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that manages clients' admittance to information base assets and tasks. On the off chance that this choice is incapacitated every client will approach any data set and will actually want to execute any activity.
After making changes to the MongoDB configuration document, restart the mongod administration:
$ sudo systemctl restart mongod
Creating Administrative MongoDB User
On the off chance that you empowered the MongoDB verification, make one managerial MongoDB client that you will use to get to and deal with your MongoDB example.
First access the mongo shell with:
$ mongo
When you are inside the MongoDB shell type the accompanying order to associate with the admin database:
use admin
Output
switched to db admin
Create a new user named mongoAdmin with the userAdminAnyDatabase role:
db.createUser(
{
user: “mongoAdmin”,
pwd: “changeMe”,
roles: [ { role: “userAdminAnyDatabase”, db: “admin” } ]
}
)
Output
Successfully added user: {
“user” : “mongoAdmin”,
“roles” : [
{
“role” : “userAdminAnyDatabase”,
“db” : “admin”
}

}
Exit the mongo shell with:
quit()
