MongoDB is an open source cross-platform, document-oriented database. It was designed with both scalability and developer agility in mind. MongoDB is written in C, C++, and JavaScript, and it uses JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas to store data.
MongoDB is released under the Server Side Public License (SSPL), and the language drivers are available under an Apache License.
MongoDB is available for Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Install MongoDB on Debian 9 / Debian 8
You can install MongoDB from Debian repository or Official MongoDB repository.
- Install MongoDB (v4.x) from Official MongoDB repository
- Install MongoDB (v3.x) from Debian Repository
1. Install MongoDB from MongoDB Repository
MongoDB Inc releases stable packages for Debian 9 and Debian 8, and their packages are generally fresher than those in the Debian repositories. You should always use the official mongodb-org package.
The mongodb-org package might conflict with the mongodb packages in Debian repository (If you have it already installed).
Install the certificate server for downloading and managing certificates.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt install dirmngr
Import the public key to the system.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
Add the MongoDB repository to the system.
### Debian 9 ### echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian stretch/mongodb-org/4.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list ### Debian 8 ### echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian jessie/mongodb-org/4.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
Update the repository index.
sudo apt-get update
Install the MongoDB packages using the apt command. The name of the MongoDB package is mongodb-org.
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
MongoDB services can be started/stopped by the easy known commands.
To start MongoDB service, run.
sudo systemctl start mongod
To enable MongoDB service to start automatically on system startup, run:
sudo systemctl enable mongod
To check the status of MongoDB service, run.
sudo systemctl status mongod
Output:

2. Install MongoDB from Ubuntu Repository
Installing MongoDB from Debian repository is a straightforward way. But, the version available in Debian repository may be bit older than the one in MongoDB repository.
Note:
MongoDB Inc does not maintain the MongoDB package available in the Debian repository.
sudo apt update sudo apt -y install mongodb mongodb-server mongo-tools
By this time, MongoDB should be up and running. To check the status of MongoDB, run.
sudo systemctl status mongodb
Output:

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display
metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).
The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you
and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product
improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.
To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
To permanently disable this reminder, run the following command: db.disableFreeMonitoring()
