MongoDB is a popular open-source NoSQL database management system known for its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. In addition to the free MongoDB Community Edition, there is a commercial MongoDB Enterprise Edition and fully managed cloud-based database services under the name MongoDB Atlas. MongoDB is characterized by its high flexibility and almost unlimited horizontal scalability.

2. Add GPG key
First, add the GPG key that will be required by the system to check the authenticity of the MongoDB packages we are going to install in this article.

MongoDB is a popular Database system but packages to install it are not available directly using the default system repository of Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore, we manually add the repository of the 6.0 version on our Ubuntu 22.04 Linux.
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.listAfter adding the repository, update the APT index cache, using:
sudo apt update4. Install MongoDB 6.0 on Ubuntu 22.04
Our system is now ready to install MongoDB Server and its other tools such as shell, mongosh, and more. Run the below-given command in your Ubuntu 22.04 terminal.
sudo apt install mongodb-org
6. Start and Enable the MongoDB service
Once the installation is completed, let’s enable and also start the service of the Database server, so that we don’t need to run it again and again with system boot.
sudo systemctl enable --now mongodAfter enabling the service, check whether it is working without any error or not.
