Setting up MongoDB v5.0 on Ubuntu 20: "core-dump: STATUS 4/ILL"

Welcome to the MongoDB Community Forums @Philipp_Kolbe !

The likely reason for encountering an illegal instruction is that your CPU does not meet the x86_64 microarchitecture requirements for MongoDB 5.0.

Can you please:

  • Provide the output of /proc/cpuinfo
  • Confirm if your Ubuntu is running in a VM and if so, the host O/S and VM software versions

Thanks,
