MongoDB<\/strong>\u00a0is one of the leading\u00a0NoSQL databases<\/strong>\u00a0that is commonly used in modern web applications. This tutorial will walk you through setting up MongoDB. Please note that this tutorial is meant for\u00a0Ubuntu 14.04<\/strong>, but it should work on other distributions of Ubuntu as well. These steps have not been tested on Linux distros other than Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Update System<\/h2>\n

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\u00a0Custom ISO<\/strong>, or installing on an\u00a0existing VPS<\/strong>, then you can run the following command to do a system update:<\/p>\n

apt-get update\r\napt-get dist-upgrade\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once this is complete, you will be ready to move onto the next step.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Install MongoDB using APT<\/strong><\/h2>\n
There are a few ways to\u00a0install MongoDB<\/strong>. In this tutorial, we will be installing it using the\u00a0following command<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
apt-get install -y mongodb\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
This will take a moment to install. Once it has finished installing, you can then test that MongoDB is operational by typing\u00a0mongo<\/code>\u00a0into your command line. If everything works, you will see:<\/p>\n
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.X\r\nconnecting to: ******\r\n>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
You can also verify that\u00a0MongoDB<\/strong>\u00a0is running by typing the following:<\/p>\n
ps aux | grep mongodb\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Which should give you something similar to:<\/strong><\/p>\n
mongodb   1112  0.5  0.1 514376 13692 ?        Ssl  Sep27  19:49 \/usr\/bin\/mongod --config \/etc\/mongod.conf\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you see that you have\u00a0successfully installed<\/strong>\u00a0and ready to use MongoDB on your AKLWEB Host VPS.<\/p>\n
