A couple projects I work on use MongoDB as the database, and I’m generally not satisfied to use the (often outdated) version that ships with Ubuntu.
As a result, I wrote this script to automate fetching, extracting and linking the latest version.
To configure the script, just replace the PKG information with whatever value is most relevant for your configuration at http://www.mongodb.org/downloads .
#!/bin/bash
PKG=mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.2.0
URL=http://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux
if [ -f /etc/init.d/mongod ]
then
echo "mongod already installed ... stopping"
sudo service mongod stop
else
echo "installing mongod script"
wget https://raw.github.com/gist/3516078/713ad981715236473999f30636bca2ee3dcc5f24/mongod
sudo mv mongod /etc/init.d/mongod
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mongod
echo "creating mongodb user"
sudo useradd mongodb
echo "creating directories"
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/mongodb
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mongodb
sudo chown mongodb.mongodb /var/lib/mongodb
sudo chown mongodb.mongodb /var/log/mongodb
sudo update-rc.d mongod defaults
fi
wget $URL/$PKG.tgz
sudo tar -xvzf $PKG.tgz -C /usr/local/
if [ -d /usr/local/mongodb ]
then
echo "removing existing mongodb symlink"
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mongodb
sudo ln -s /usr/local/$PKG /usr/local/mongodb
else
echo "creating symlinks"
sudo ln -s /usr/local/$PKG /usr/local/mongodb
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mongodb/bin/bsondump /usr/local/bin/bsondump
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongo /usr/local/bin/mongo

echo "cleaning up"
rm $PKG.tgz
echo "starting mongod service"
sudo service mongod start Note that this script pulls mongod from a gist which I created. This script is originally from Ijonas Kisselbach ’s dotfiles .
