To use MongoDB Search with MongoDB Community, you must install MongoDB Search with [Docker](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/search/self-managed/current/installation/docker.md#std-label-mongot-deployment-using-docker) or [Linux](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/search/self-managed/current/installation/linux.md#std-label-mongot-deployment-on-linux) separately. ## About This Task Use this tutorial to install MongoDB 9.0 Community Edition on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux using the YUM package manager. **Important:** MongoDB only supports Oracle Linux running the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). MongoDB does not support the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). ### Localhost Binding by Default By default, MongoDB launches with [`bindIp`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options.md#mongodb-setting-net.bindIp) set to `127.0.0.1`, which binds it to the localhost network interface. This means that the `mongod` instance only accepts connections from clients running on the same machine. To allow remote clients to access the `mongod` instance or to initialize a [replica set](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/glossary.md#std-term-replica-set) on the instance, you must bind `mongod` to a publicly-accessible network interface. To bind the network interface, use the [`bindIp`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options.md#mongodb-setting-net.bindIp) setting in the configuration file or start `mongod` with the [`--bind_ip`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod.md#std-option-mongod.--bind_ip) command-line option. **Warning:** Before you bind your instance to a publicly-accessible IP address, you must secure your cluster from unauthorized access. For a complete list of security recommendations, see [Security Checklist for Self-Managed Deployments](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/security-checklist.md#std-label-security-checklist). At minimum, consider [enabling authentication](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/security-checklist.md#std-label-checklist-auth) and [hardening network infrastructure.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/security-hardening.md#std-label-network-config-hardening) For more information on configuring [`bindIp`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options.md#mongodb-setting-net.bindIp), see [IP Binding in Self-Managed Deployments.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/security-mongodb-configuration.md#std-label-ip-binding) ### ulimit Most Unix-like operating systems limit the system resources that a process may use. These limits may negatively impact MongoDB operation, and should be adjusted. See [UNIX ulimit Settings for Self-Managed Deployments](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/ulimit.md) for the recommended settings for your platform. **Note:** If the `ulimit` value for number of open files is under `64000`, MongoDB generates a startup warning. Use this tutorial to manually install MongoDB 9.0 Community Edition on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS Linux, or Oracle Linux using a downloaded `.tgz` tarball. **Important:** MongoDB only supports Oracle Linux running the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). MongoDB does not support the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK). ### Localhost Binding by Default By default, MongoDB launches with [`bindIp`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options.md#mongodb-setting-net.bindIp) set to `127.0.0.1`, which binds it to the localhost network interface.

Configure the repository. To configure the repository, use a text editor to copy the repository information into the `/etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-9.0.repo` file: ### RHEL 10 ```cfg [mongodb-org-9.0] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/10/mongodb-org/9.0/x86_64/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-9.asc ``` Use the repository information for your version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or for the version of RHEL that corresponds to your distribution release. For example, use the RHEL 10 information for Rocky Linux 10. **Note:** Alternatively, you can download the `.rpm` files directly from the [MongoDB repository](https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/). Downloads are organized by Red Hat / CentOS version (e.g. `9`), then MongoDB [release version](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/versioning.md#std-label-release-version-numbers) (e.g. `9.0`), then architecture (e.g. `x86_64`). 2. Install MongoDB Community Server. ### Latest Release To install the latest stable version of MongoDB Community, issue the following command: ```sh sudo yum install -y mongodb-org ``` 3. Configure SELinux. Optional. If you plan to run MongoDB Community with the default port and data directory configuration, you can use the official MongoDB policy to configure SELinux to enforce mandatory access controls on the `mongod` instance. For details, see [Configure the MongoDB SELinux Policy.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/selinux/mongodb-policy.md#std-label-manual-selinux) 1) Import the public key. From a terminal, install `gnupg` and `curl` if they are not already available: ```bash sudo apt-get install gnupg curl ``` To import the MongoDB public GPG key, run the following command: ```bash curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-9.asc | \ sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-9.gpg \ --dearmor ``` 2) Create the list file. Create the list file `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-9.0.list` for your version of Ubuntu. ### Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute) Create the list file for Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute): ```bash echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-9.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu resolute/mongodb-org/9.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-9.0.list ``` 3) Reload the package database. Issue the following command to reload the local package database: ```bash sudo apt-get update ``` 4) Install MongoDB Community Server. You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB. ### Latest Release To install the latest stable version, issue the following ```bash sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org ``` 1. Import the public key. From a terminal, install `gnupg` and `curl` if they are not already available: ```bash sudo apt-get install gnupg curl ``` To import the MongoDB public GPG key, run the following command: ```bash curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-9.asc | \ sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-9.gpg \ --dearmor ``` 2. Create the list file. Create the list file for Debian 13 (Trixie): ```bash echo "deb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-9.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian trixie/mongodb-org/9.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-9.0.list ``` 3. Reload the package database. Issue the following command to reload the local package database: ```bash sudo apt-get update ``` 4. Install MongoDB Community Server. You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB. ### Latest Release To install the latest stable version, issue the following ```bash sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org ``` 1) Import the public key. ```sh sudo rpm --import https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-9.asc ``` 2) Add the repository. Select the tab for your version of SUSE: ### SLES 16 To add the repository file for SUSE Enterprise Linux 16, run the following command: ```sh sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck "https://repo.mongodb.org/zypper/suse/16/mongodb-org/9.0/x86_64/" mongodb ``` 3) Install MongoDB packages. You can install either the latest stable release of MongoDB or a specific release of MongoDB. ### Latest Release To install the latest version of MongoDB, run the following command: ```sh sudo zypper -n install mongodb-org ``` 1. Configure the repository. Create a `/etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-9.0.repo` file so that you can install MongoDB directly using `yum`: ```cfg [mongodb-org-9.0] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2023/mongodb-org/9.0/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-9.asc ``` You can also download the `.rpm` files directly from the [MongoDB repository](https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/). Downloads are organized by Amazon Linux 2023 version (for example, `2023`), then MongoDB [version](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/versioning.md#std-label-release-version-numbers) (`9.0`), then architecture (`x86_64` or `aarch64`). 2. Install MongoDB Community Server. ### Latest Release To install the latest stable version of MongoDB, run the following command: ```sh sudo yum install -y mongodb-org ``` 1) Download the tarball. After you have installed the required prerequisite packages, download the MongoDB Community `tgz` tarball: Navigate to [MongoDB Download Center](https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community/). In the Version dropdown, select the version of MongoDB to download. In the Platform dropdown, select your operating system version and architecture. In the Package dropdown, select tgz. Click Download. 2) Extract the files. Using an archive manager program or the `tar` command, extract the files. For example, from a system shell, you can extract using the `tar` command: ```bash tar -zxvf mongodb-*-9.0.4.tgz ``` 3) (Optional) Ensure binaries in PATH. The MongoDB binaries are in the `bin/` directory of the tarball. You can either: - Copy the binaries into a directory listed in your `PATH` variable, such as `/usr/local/bin` (Update `/path/to/the/mongodb-directory/` with your installation directory as appropriate) ```bash sudo cp /path/to/the/mongodb-directory/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ ``` - Create symbolic links to the binaries from a directory listed in your `PATH` variable, such as `/usr/local/bin` (Update `/path/to/the/mongodb-directory/` with your installation directory as appropriate): ```bash sudo ln -s /path/to/the/mongodb-directory/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ ``` 4) (Optional) Install MongoDB Shell (mongosh). [Install](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/install/) `mongosh` then use the MongoDB Shell to connect to your deployment. Download the package for the version of `mongosh` you need from the [MongoDB Download Center](https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community/) and uncompress the package. ## Start and Verify 1. Verify the MongoDB Community installation. To confirm that the installation was successful, run `mongod` with the [`--version`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod.md#std-option-mongod.--version) option: ```bash mongod --version ``` **Output:** ```bash db version 9.0.4 Build Info: { "version": "9.0.4", "gitVersion": "", "modules": [ "community" ], "allocator": "system", "javascriptEngine": "mozjs-wasm", "environment": { "distarch": "x86_64", "target_arch": "x86_64" } } ``` 2. Start MongoDB Community. To start the MongoDB service, use the `systemctl` command: ```bash sudo systemctl start mongod ``` 3. Verify that MongoDB Community is running. To verify that the MongoDB service is running, check its status with the `systemctl` command: ```bash systemctl status mongod ``` **Output:** ```none ● mongod.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2026-09-21 09:41:13 UTC; 4 days ago Docs: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual Main PID: 8642 (mongod) Memory: 148.1M CPU: 2m 15s CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service └─8642 /usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf ``` 4. Configure systemd to start MongoDB on boot. To configure the MongoDB service to start on boot, use the `systemctl` command: ```bash sudo systemctl enable mongod ``` **Output:** ```none Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mongod.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service. ``` 1) Verify the installation. To confirm that the installation was successful, run `mongod` with the [`--version`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod.md#std-option-mongod.--version) option: ```bash mongod --version ``` **Output:** ```bash db version 9.0.4 Build Info: { "version": "9.0.4", "gitVersion": "", "modules": [ "community" ], "allocator": "system", "javascriptEngine": "mozjs-wasm", "environment": { "distarch": "x86_64", "target_arch": "x86_64" } } ``` 2) Start MongoDB Community. ### Configuration To start the [`mongod`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod.md#mongodb-binary-bin.mongod) process from a configuration file, run the following command: ```bash mongod --config /path/to/mongod.conf --fork ``` ## Connect 1. Connect to MongoDB Community. To connect to your deployment, run `mongosh`: ```sh mongosh ``` The command connects to MongoDB Community through the default address: `mongodb://localhost:27017`. 2. Check Server Status. To check the status of MongoDB, run the [`serverStatus`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/serverstatus.md#mongodb-dbcommand-dbcmd.serverStatus) command: ```javascript db.runCommand( { serverStatus: 1, none: 1, mem: 1 } ) ``` **Output:** ```javascript { host: '', version: '9.0.4', process: 'mongod', pid: Long('71115'), uptime: 61, uptimeMillis: Long('61213'), uptimeEstimate: Long('61'), localTime: ISODate("2026-10-27T16:39:04.046Z"), ok: 1, '$clusterTime': { clusterTime: Timestamp(1793119144, 1), signature: { hash: Binary.createFromBase64('AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=', 0), keyId: Long('0') } }, operationTime: Timestamp(1793119144, 1) } ``` ## Next Steps After you install MongoDB Community Edition, you can: - **Get started**: Work through an introductory tutorial.
