In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on Manjaro 21. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database system. It’s a document-oriented database program with a JSON-like scheme, in which all your data stored as a document with BSON format on the database collection.
This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB on a Manjaro 21 (Ornara).
Prerequisites
- A server running one of the following operating systems: Manjaro 21.
- It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
