Step 1: Install Node
To install Ruby and Rails on Ubuntu, you’ll need to install some dependencies… To make that happen, install Node.js and Yarn repositories… This will make installing the dependencies easier…
First install these curl and git packages…
sudo apt update sudo apt install curl git
Than run the commands below to add Node.js and Yarn repositories and keys to your system…. Then install some core packages to get your environment going…
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs yarn zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev software-properties-common libffi-dev
When you’re done… continue below:
Step 2: Install MongoDB Database Server
Now that Node.js is installed, follow these steps to install MongoDB…
MongoDB is available via Ubuntu default repositories… However, installing from Ubuntu default repositories might not necessarily installed the latest version…
To install MongoDB default repository, run the commands below to add its default repository GPG key..
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
After that, run the commands below to add its repository file..
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
When you’re done, run the commands below to install
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
That should install the latest version of MongoDB
After installing MongoDB, these commands can be used to stop, start and enable MongoDB service to automatically start up when the server boots..
sudo systemctl stop mongod.service sudo systemctl start mongod.service sudo systemctl enable mongod.service
To check MongoDB status, run the commands below:
sudo systemctl status mongod.service
You should see similar lines as below:
