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.
• A non-root sudo user or access to the root user. We recommend acting as a non-root sudo user, however, as you can harm your system if you’re not careful when acting as the root.

Install MongoDB on Manjaro 21 Ornara

Step 1. Before running the tutorial below, make sure that our system is up to date:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2. Activate the Arch Linux packages.

Step 2. Installing MongoDB on Manjaro 21.

Now we run the following command to install MongoDB:

pacman build mongodb-bin
pacman build mongodb-tools-bin

Once successfully installed, start the MongoDB service and enable it to start on boot:

sudo systemctl start mongodb
sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Now we have everything for MongoDB to run on Manjaro Linux, just activate the program on the terminal with:

mongo

This will start up the mongo shell. Please check out the manual for detailed information on the available queries and options.
