I am trying to download mongodb and I am following the steps on this link.
But when I get to the step:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org I get the following error:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package mongodb-org //This is the error Why is this occurring and is there a work around?
I faced same issue but fix it by the changing the package file section command. The whole step that i followed was:
At first try with this command:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb If the above command not working then you can fix the issue by one of the bellow procedure:
#Step 1: Import the MongoDB public key sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10 #Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list #Step 3: Refresh the local database with the packages sudo apt-get update #Step 4: Install the last stable MongoDB version and all the necessary packages on our system sudo apt-get install mongodb-org #Or sudo apt-get install -y mongodb Hope this will work for you also. You can follow this MongoDB
Update The above instruction will install mongodb 2.6 version, if you want to install latest version for Uubuntu 12.04 then just replace above step 2 and follow bellow instruction instead of that:
#Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 then use bellow step instead of above step 2
#Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list The true problem here may be if you have a 32-bit system. MongoDB 3.X was never made to be used on a 32-bit system, so the repostories for 32-bit is empty (hence why it is not found). Installing the default 2.X Ubuntu package might be your best bet with:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
Another workaround, if you nevertheless want to get the latest version of Mongo:
You can go to https://www.mongodb.org/downloads and use the drop-down to select "Linux 32-bit legacy"
But it comes with severe limitations...
This 32-bit legacy distribution does not include SSL encryption and is limited to around 2GB of data. In general you should use the 64 bit builds. See here for more information.
Try without '-org':
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
Worked for me!
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04; and apt still couldn't find package; I tried all the answers above and more. The URL that worked for me is this:
echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list Source: http://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-14-04/
All steps are correct just change the Step 4 as below
Command: sudo apt-get install mongodb
It has worked for me.
If you are currently using the MongoDB 3.3 Repository (as officially currently suggested by MongoDB website) you should take in consideration that the package name used for version 3.3 is:
mongodb-org-unstable
Then the proper installation command for this version will be:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org-unstable Considering this, I will rather suggest to use the current latest stable version (v3.2) until the v3.3 becomes stable, the commands to install it are listed below:
Download the v3.2 Repository key:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc | sudo apt-key add - If you work with Ubuntu 12.04 or Mint 13 add the following repository:
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu precise/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list If you work with Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint 17 add the following repository:
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list If you work with Ubuntu 16.04 or Mint 18 add the following repository:
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list Update the package list and install mongo:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org The currently accepted answer works, but will install an outdated version of Mongo.
The Mongo documentation states that: MongoDB only provides packages for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr). However, These packages may work with other Ubuntu releases.
So, to get the lastest stable Mongo (3.0), use this (the different step is the second one):
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10 echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list apt-get update apt-get install mongodb-org Hope this helps.
I would like to add that as a previous step, you must check your GNU/Linux Distro Release, which will construct the Repo list url. For me, as I am using this:
DISTRIB_CODENAME=rafaela DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS" The original 2nd step:
"Create a list file for MongoDB": "echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list" Didn't work as intended because it generated an incorrect Repo url. Basically, it put the distribution codename "rafaela" within the url repo which doesn't exist. You can check the Repo url at your package manager under Software Sources, Additional Repositories.
What I did was to browse the site:
http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/
And I found out that for Ubuntu, "trusty" and "precise" are the only web folders available, not "rafaela".
Solution: Open as root the file 'mongodb-org-3.1.list' or 'mongodb.list' and replace "rafaela" or your release version for the corresponding version (for me it was: "trusty"), save the changes and continue with next steps. Also, your package manager can let you change easily the repo url as well.
Hope it works for you.! ---
You first need to add the package database and add the PGP key.
Run the following.
#add pgp key sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10 #add package file echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list #update package list sudo apt-get update #install mongo sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org I had the same issue in 14.04, but I fixed it by these steps:
It worked like charm :)
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb it works for 32-bit ubuntu, try it.best of luck.
Unfortunately I need more 'reputation points' to comment, but Jeff Sloyer is most likely correct. I would double check you have added the repo correctly.
