Installing MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04

MongoDB is  included in Ubuntu package repositories, but official MongoDB repository provides most upto date version.

We use official version of MongoDB

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927

The output should look like this

ubuntu@ip-192-41-15-154:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv EA312927

Executing: /tmp/tmp.u96cXK2VEb/gpg.1.sh --keyserver

hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80

--recv

EA312927

gpg: requesting key EA312927 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com

gpg: key EA312927: public key "MongoDB 3.2 Release Signing Key <packaging@mongodb.com>" imported

gpg: Total number processed: 1

gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

We add MongoDB repository to Apt, so that apt know where to download the repository

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

Output:

deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse

Update the Apt 

$ sudo apt-get update
