Install the MongoDB 2.6.0 binary distribution tutorial on CentOS 6.5 x64 system

Access to MongoDB's foreign image is so slow that the choice of an online installation on MongoDB's website is unreliable. So, we can choose to install the 2-bin cloth package of MongoDB 2.6.

Let's install the latest MongoDB 2.6.02 base distribution on CentOS 6.5 x64.

1. Download the MongoDB 2.6.02 base distribution

$ curl -O http://downloads.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.6.0.tgz

2. Unpack the MongoDB compression package

$ tar zvxf mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.6.0.tgz 

Simplify directory names

$ mv mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.6.0 mongodb

4. Configure the PATH environment variable

Make sure that the bin directory for MongoDB is included in the PATH environment variable.
Or the primary symbol connects to the /usr/local/bin directory.

$ sudo vi /etc/profile

Add the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/chuser/mongodb/bin

Make environment variables work:

$ source /etc/profile

Verify whether the environment variable takes effect:

$ mongod -version

db version v2.6.0

5. Run MongoDB

Create a data directory

$ mkdir -p mongodb/data/db

Make sure mongod has read and write access to the data directory.
Run MongoDB (specify the data directory to create)

$ mongod --dbpath /home/chuser/mongodb/data &

6. Verify the normal operation of MongoDB

$ mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.0

connecting to: test
