# Mongo Setup

  1. Download mongo from the web

  2. Unzip the contents into installs folder

  3. Rename the unzipped folder to mongodb

  4. Add mongo to path

export MONGO_HOME=~/installs/mongodb
export PATH=$MONGO_HOME/bin:$PATH
  1. Create a folder for mongo data
~>mkdir db db/mongo db/mongo/data
  1. Create mongodbconfig under instals/<mongo_intsallation_folder>/bin with the following configuration: Replace <user_home> by the actual directory under which db folder is created. Usually for ubuntu -> /home/<user_name> for mac -> /Users/<user_name>

mongodbconfig

dbpath = <user_home>/db/mongo/data
logpath = <user_home>/db/mongo/mongodb.log
logappend = true
port = 27017
fork = true
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
  1. Also create mongostart & mongostop script

mongostart.sh

sudo ~/installs/<mongo_intsallation_folder>/bin/mongod --config ~/installs/<mongo_intsallation_folder>/bin/mongodbconfig

mongostop.sh

#!/bin/bash
pid=`ps -aef | grep mongod | grep config | tr -s " " | cut -f3 -d " "`;
if [ "${pid}" != "" ]; then
sudo kill -2 ${pid};
fi

warning Note

the pid field could differ based on os, for macOS its -f3 & ubuntu -f2 (?)

  1. Open command-line & start mongo server using command mongostart
~>mongostart
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 22515
child process started successfully, parent exiting
  1. You can whether mongo is running by entering into mongo shell
~>mongo
