mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.10 libcrypto.so.10

Question

Problem

I downloaded the mongodb 3.0.7 tar files. Then I added the bin directory to my path:

export PATH=

        

Answer 1

sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*

Just start over from here.

If you don't want 3.2, do not

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Specify the version for all the individual components in the next step.

OR you can copy the correct version link from mongodb.

You will need to

cd /Downloads 
wget wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-correct-version.tgz
tar -zxvf mongodb-correct-version.tgz 

You should see all the executables. Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH

echo $PATH

Create a symbolic link for the mongod server and check the version.

sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/mongodb-correct-version/bin/mongod /usr/local/sbin/bin/mongod
mongod --version

Now create a symbolic link for the shell and check the version.

sudo ln -s ~/Downloads/mongodb-correct-version/bin/mongo /usr/local/bin/mongo
mongo --version

Create a directory path for the server.

mkdir ~/data
mkdir ~/data/db 

Start the server and let it run from a separate terminal than the shell.

mongod --dbpath ~/data/db/

It should be listening on port 27017. In a new terminal, start mongo.

mongo
