You will want to make sure that your server is up-to-date. If you are setting up your VPS for the first time, it should already be up-to-date. However, if you are running a Custom ISO, or installing on an existing VPS, then you can run the following command to do a system update:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
Once this is complete, you will be ready to move onto the next step.
There are a few ways to install MongoDB. In this tutorial, we will be installing it using the following command:
apt-get install -y mongodb
This will take a moment to install. Once it has finished installing, you can then test that MongoDB is operational by typing mongo into your command line. If everything works, you will see:
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.X
connecting to: ******
>
You can also verify that MongoDB is running by typing the following:
ps aux | grep mongodb
Which should give you something similar to:
mongodb 1112 0.5 0.1 514376 13692 ? Ssl Sep27 19:49 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf
If you see that you have successfully installed and ready to use MongoDB on your AKLWEB Host VPS.
Enjoy!
