MongoDB is a popular NoSQL document-oriented database that is widely used for web applications and big data solutions. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install MongoDB on Kali Linux.
Step 1: Add the MongoDB Repository
Before installing MongoDB, you need to add the MongoDB repository to your Kali Linux system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
This command adds the MongoDB public GPG key to your system.
Next, run the following command to add the MongoDB repository to your system:
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian stretch/mongodb-org/4.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
This command adds the MongoDB repository to your Kali Linux system.
Step 2: Install MongoDB
Now that you have added the MongoDB repository, you can install MongoDB using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
This command will download and install the MongoDB package and its dependencies.
Step 3: Start MongoDB
After installation, you can start MongoDB using the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongod
To ensure that MongoDB starts automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mongod
Step 4: Verify MongoDB Installation
To verify that MongoDB is installed and running correctly, you can check the status of the mongod service using the following command:
sudo systemctl status mongod
If MongoDB is running correctly, you will see a message indicating that the mongod service is active.
Step 5: Connect to MongoDB
Now that you have installed MongoDB, you can connect to it using the mongo shell. To do this, simply type the following command in the terminal:
mongo
This will open the mongo shell, where you can execute various commands to manage your MongoDB instance.
