yum install mongodb 3.2 fails

Question

I am trying to install mongodb 3.2 on a CentOS 7 machine and facing issues in locating the packages.

I have updated the repo file as per the documentation:

Answer 1

This is a more recent version of Idos answer from Install MongoDB Community Edition on Red Hat Enterprise or CentOS Linux.

Configure the package management system (yum).

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo file so that you can install MongoDB directly, using yum.

For MongoDB 3.6

Use the following repository file:

[mongodb-org-3.6]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.6/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.6.asc

For versions of MongoDB earlier than 3.6

To install the packages from an earlier release series such as 3.4, you can specify the release series in the repository configuration. For example, to restrict your system to the 3.4 release series, create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo file to hold the following configuration information for the MongoDB 3.4 repository:

[mongodb-org-3.4]
name=MongoDB 3.4 Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

You can find .repo files for each release in the repository itself. Remember that odd-numbered minor release versions (e.g. 3.5) are development versions and are unsuitable for production use.

Install the MongoDB packages.

To install the latest stable version of MongoDB, issue the following command:

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

To install a specific release of MongoDB, specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example:

sudo yum install -y mongodb-org-3.6.4 mongodb-org-server-3.6.4 mongodb-org-shell-3.6.4 mongodb-org-mongos-3.6.4 mongodb-org-tools-3.6.4

When you install the packages, you choose whether to install the current release or a previous one. This step provides the commands for both.

Start MongoDB.

You can start the mongod process by issuing the following command:

sudo service mongod start
