Install ONLY mongo shell, not mongodb

Question

As mentioned above, I need to install only the mongo shell on a RHEL instance (machine A). I have a mongodb server on a separate instance (machine B) and need to connect to that

Answer 1

1. Create a repository file at sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

[mongodb-org-4.0]
name=MongoDB Repository 
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc
gpgcheck=1 
enabled=1 

2. sudo yum clean all

3. sudo yum install mongodb-org-shell-4.0.2

4. mongo Note: Step 4 will not work in all cases. You need to check proper command to connect to remote mongo server.
