Install Robo 3T on Fedora 38

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Robo 3T on Fedora 38. For those of you who didn’t know, Robo 3T, formerly known as Robomongo, is a powerful open-source MongoDB management tool that allows developers and database administrators to interact with MongoDB databases effortlessly. If you’re a Fedora 38 user and want to harness the capabilities of Robo 3T, you’re in the right place.

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 the step-by-step installation of the Robo 3T on a Fedora 38.

Prerequisites

  • A server running one of the following operating systems: Fedora 38.
  • It’s recommended that you use a fresh OS install to prevent any potential issues.
  • SSH access to the server (or just open Terminal if you’re on a desktop).
  • An active internet connection. You’ll need an internet connection to download the necessary packages and dependencies for Robo 3T.
  • 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.
