Error while installing mongodb on ubuntu 16.04

Question

I\'ve already seen these answers, so please don\'t link em in solutions:

Installing MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/220

Answer 1

Have you checked inodes on the server? df -h may still show space left but you could be out of inodes. Please try running df -i and see if you have any inodes left on the server.

Answer 2

Run the below command:

sudo apt-get -f install

And then try running sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Answer 3

Have you done the update?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If the update does not help, try checking for broken dependencies:

sudo apt-get check

The check command is a diagnostic tool. It used to update package cache and checks for broken dependencies.

I would also try two more things. First,

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

and if that does not help, try to unblock the dpkg

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo apt-get -f install

I hope it helps.

Answer 4

• Download the MongoDB Community Server (.dbz) version

• Extract it and move it to home directory

• Edit the ~/.profile by running:

  • gedit ~/.profile

• Then add this:

  • echo export PATH=mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.4/bin:$PATH

• Save then update the system variables by running:

  • source ~/.profile

• After that, start server by running:

  • mongod

Answer 6

I have tried many answers, but at last, I found that make system version is not matched to the mongo repo required version. At MongoDB official website, there is an option to let you choose the correct repo link. So, check your system version firstly with:

lsb_release -dc

Then if your system version is 18.04, try

echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

If your system version is 16.04, try

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
