Install MongoDB on AWS Ubuntu EC2 Instance

In the earlier blogs we see about installing the other relational databases in the AWS EC2 instances, now I started exploring the options to integrate the NoSQL database with our Backup and DR application

In this blog lets see on Installing MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu 18.04 EC2 instance in AWS

Installing the MongoDB in ubuntu via aptitude is very simple

To install MongoDB Community on your Ubuntu system, these instructions will use the official mongodb-org package, which is maintained and supported by MongoDB Inc.

Reload local package database.

sudo apt update
