I have been trying to install mongodb following the official documentation. So I followed these steps:
STEP 1:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
STEP 2:
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/5.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list
STEP 3:
sudo apt-get update
When I reach this step:
STEP 4:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
This error gets thrown.
E: Unable to locate package mongodb-org
I looked it up all over the internet and I couldn't find any solution even though it has been asked several times;
After doing some research, I have found this stackoverflow question where most answers say that I should just:
At first try with this command: sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
This is the unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu and it is
not maintained by MongoDB and conflict with MongoDB’s offically
supported packages.
But, this seems to be an outdated answer which explains when I tried to do mongodump using the installed mongodb with that approach, it did not work.
After using the Outdated approach, this the installed mongodb info. I do understand they're outdated.
mongo --version
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
mongod --version
db version v2.6.10
This is the system info.
hostnamectl
Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS
Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-210-generic
Architecture: x86-64
I would really appreciate any help.
The last release of MongoDB for Xenial was MongoDB 4.4, as seen in the software's repository for Xenial. Thus, you won't be able to install MongoDB 5.0 (I assume that's what you are trying to do) from the official repository; however you can install the software using a .tgz Tarball, as specified in Install MongoDB Community on Ubuntu using .tgz Tarball.
I am trying to install Mongodb using the command sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org on ubuntu 16.04 after it produces the following error:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-org : Depends: mongodb-org-shell but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Looking at the MongoDB Documentation at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ it says to use their package not the Ubuntu APT package.
Here are the steps to use the MongoDB Package in a nutshell...
Add the APT Key:
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Add the APT Sources List:
echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.2.list
Update APT:
sudo apt-get update
Install the MongoDB Community Edition Package:
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
Start the service:
sudo service mongod start
Log into the database using mongoshell:
mongo
If someone else struggle with this issue and all the other answers didn't work...
This is what work for me:
apt-get install mongodb-org-shell
apt-get install mongodb-org-server
apt-get install mongodb-org-mongos
And then again
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
Detials (run uname -a):
Linux resta-dev 4.15.0-66-generic #75-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 1 05:24:09 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I got this issue when the wrong Ubuntu version was selected. Make sure you double check that you run the correct one.
Your system already had the Ubuntu MongoDB package installed prior to installing the official mongodb-org packages. To confirm whether the host has the Ubuntu mongodb package installed, run;
sudo apt list --installed | grep mongo
If present you will need to remove all the installed mongodb-org packages by running;
sudo apt remove mongo*
Once all the MongoDB packages are removed you can now use the Official installation Guide to complete your installation
Use this command to display the installed applications and their dependencies causing troubles:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and use the following command and replace package-name with the name of the package that need to be removed
sudo dpkg --remove package-name
You are now good to go.
i can't download any program using Ubuntu Software.
Example error defination is that(for install Kdenlive) :
Unable to install Kdenlive:
Error while installing package: mongo-tools 3.6.3-0ubuntu1 ..... '/usr/bin/bsondump'
Try this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org-tools
sudo apt-get install kdenlive
and post the errors you are getting, if any.
I am trying to install mongodb on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but it has the following error saying
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The
following packages have unmet dependencies: mongodb-org : Depends:
mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-tools but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with
no packages (or specify a solution).
umar#umar-Lenovo-ideapad-320-15ISK:~/Desktop/portfolio/async-demo$
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
I beleieve the reason behind this is already mentioned on their website, clearly saying
PLATFORM SUPPORT
MongoDB only provides packages for 64-bit LTS (long-term support)
Ubuntu releases; for example, 14.04 LTS (trusty) and 16.04 LTS
(xenial). See Supported Platforms for more information.
These packages may work with other Ubuntu releases; however, they are
not supported.
So how can I install mongodb on my latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
For sake of clarity, I am listing the things I did to correct the errors:
I followed their official website to install mongodb
1. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
2. echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
Now here I got errors saying: You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken
install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet
dependencies:
I tried,
apt --fix-broken install
It did not work, somewhere I got clue to run
sudo apt -f install
It also returned error.
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-server_4.0.0_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-mongos_4.0.0_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-tools_4.0.0_amd64.deb E:
Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I believe the main problem is compatability with version. So basically I have Ubuntu 18.04, how I install mongodb on this version, so that I can work without any trouble.
You need to first uninstall the mongodb, you can use:
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*
After this, install mongodb through the following commands:
sudo apt-get install mongodb
And then update:
sudo apt-get update
You are done with the installation of mongodb. You can check it by using the below command:
mongo --version
EDIT: It's been a number of years, and unfortunately the top answer still points users away from the latest stable version of MongoDB. In fact the last available package for mongodb is 3.6.3.
I don't work at the company anymore, but I will point to:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
That's the best way to install the latest stable version MongoDB. It includes instructions for adding the necessary repositories and keys to allow running apt install mongodb-org. There is a platform support matrix that will help with identifying which versions of MongoDB you can install on any given Linux OS version.
just want to chime in here. I'm the Senior Technical Writer for MongoDB Server Docs. This post is one of a few that comes up with "install MongoDB on Ubuntu 18.04", and there are several comments here referencing the mongodb package for installation. The unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu is not maintained by MongoDB. You should always use the official MongoDB mongodb-org packages. Furthermore, from a bit of personal testing it looks like having mongodb installed will cause issues if you try to install mongodb-org, so its just added trouble
The few times I've run into this issue when testing locally, attempting to install one of the subpackages (i.e. mongodb-org-server) usually surfaced the actual error (i.e. missing libcurl3, which was removed in 18.04 as a default installed library). These issues may be more common when testing development builds ( at the time of writing, that's the 4.2 dev series).
To check which package you have installed on your local system, run the following:
sudo apt list --installed | grep mongo
This was my output after I installed mongodb, then attempted mongodb-org:
mongo-tools/bionic,now 3.6.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,auto-removable]
mongodb-org/bionic,now 4.0.5 amd64 [installed]
mongodb-org-shell/bionic,now 4.0.5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
mongodb-server-core/bionic,now 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,auto-removable]
So you can see, I've got a mix between the two packages (and a bunch of dkpg errors). I ended up using a mix of apt remove , apt autoremove, and apt purge to fix up the system.
Based on this excellent Answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/51421152/659354
And this Page:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
The commands I used to install MongoDB 4.2
sudo apt-get purge mongo* - Note: mongo to remove the client as well as the server.
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org - Note: install command run after the Mongodb.org Source was added to the Apt-get sources list.
This is because as of now Mongo DB for Ubuntu 18.04 is only available as a development version (See: MongoDB Distros).
I just installed it by doing the following:
Add the corresponding signature:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4B7C549A058F8B6B
Add the supported version:
echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/development multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
Update:
sudo apt update
Install:
sudo apt install mongodb-org-unstable
If you get a "GPG error" repeat step 1 with the key that is shown in the error message. You might be able to install via
sudo apt install mongodb
but according to MongoDB this is not supported and will most probably not install the newest version.
The easiest way to install MongoDB and use the mongod command on ubuntu 18.04.
Update the packages list.
$ sudo apt update
Install the MongoDB.
$ sudo apt install -y mongodb
Check the service's status.
$ sudo systemctl status mongodb
3a. You should see
● mongodb.service - An object/document-oriented database
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor
preset:enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sat 2019-03-11 10:45:01 UTC; 4min 13s ago
Docs: man:mongod(1)
Main PID: 2312 (mongod)
Tasks: 23 (limit: 1153)
CGroup: /system.slice/mongodb.service
└─2312 /usr/bin/mongod --unixSocketPrefix=/run/mongodb --config
/etc/mongodb.conf
To allow access to MongoDB on its default port 27017
$ sudo ufw allow 27017
Check status
$ sudo ufw status
5a. You should see
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
27017 ALLOW Anywhere
27017 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
5b. If it returns inactive
$ sudo ufw enable
Output:
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup.
Check the / directory to see if there is a data/db directory, if not:
$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db
To run the mongod first you need stop mongodb:
$ sudo systemctl stop mongodb
Finally, you can run the mongod:
$ sudo mongod
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
remove files related to mongodb
sudo apt update
This solved it for me.
Uninstall and remove any Mongo packages.
$ sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*
Check if related directories removed
$ sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
Recheck for autoremove any remaining mongo packages
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
Configure your directory
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Force install anything required
$ sudo apt-get install -f
Install from official site: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/
Finally restart your Ubuntu and check status of Mogodb server as you did earlier.
If you need to install mongodb binary (Manually) to your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic). You need to download mongodb .tgz file from this link .
1) Download it to your ~/Downloads folder and moveit to home directory by typing mv Downloads/mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.4.tgz ~/
2) Then unter it by typing tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.4.tgz place it here (Home directory /home/). Dont move it from here.
3) Then make a directory at /data/db location and give write permission to thatdirectory.
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chmod -R 777 /data/db
4) Now, this is the tricky area. Make sure u r in hme directory by typing pwd (Present Working Directory)
pwd
it will show
/home/<your user name>
Then type
ls -al
This command will show up all hiddenfile at home directory and search for
~/.bashrc
5) Edit the .bashrc file and write
export PATH=mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.4/bin:$PATH
and save the file type source ./bashrc
Then type echo $PATH at terminal it will display ~/mongodb-linux-x86_64-ubuntu1804-4.0.4/bin:/home/xenon/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.0/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin
6) Now at terminal type mongo --nodb
it will show MongoDB shell version v4.0.4
From here , you are all set, go ahead and enjoy mongodb installation. This istallation is bit complex but by this method you can easily control the version of mongodb and use it as per your need.
7) Then start mongod
>sudo mkdir -p /var/log && sudo chmod -R 777 /var/log
>mongod --port 27017 --dbpath /data/db --logpath /var/log/local.log --fork
>mongo --port 27017
I had the same problem, and for me the solution was purge, but with the (*) . Purge everything, so i did this:
sudo apt-get purge mongo-tools*
sudo apt-get purge mongodb*
then i follow the steps from the documentation. (Actual version is 4.2.2), and the installation was in Ubuntu 18.04. (URL: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/)
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.2.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
With that four steps from the documentation i finally install mongodb community edition on Ubuntu. My problem was 3 files,that can't process.
mongodb-org-server
mongodb-org-mongos
mongodb-org-tools
I hope its help someone
run sudo apt autoremove and re-install mongodb .
For Ubuntu version 18.04 LTS, it's better if you will install MongoDB manually.
I need to go through the following steps to make it run on my Ubuntu 18.04:
Fallow manual installation steps from the following mongo DB manual
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-tarball/
Download .tgz with the following configurations
Download MongoDB
Please note, when you install MongoDB 3.6 or above, it comes up with Curl library of "libcurl4" version and which has some compatibility issues on ubuntu 18.04
Due to this, you will end up resulting following output when try to execute "mongod" command:
mongod: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version
`CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by mongod)
To fix this problem, you need to uninstall "libcurl4" dependent library by using the following command
sudo apt-get remove libcurl4
Then need to install back lower curl lib version (i.e. "libcurl3"), as mongo expects it on ubuntu version "18.04"
sudo apt-get install libcurl3
You may need to use "sudo" to fork the data and log directories with the installation if it fails with the manual steps
sudo mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongo --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log --fork
you can run "mongo" command now to see the mongo shell running.
It works for me.
I was facing a libssl1.1 issue when trying to install mongo-db in Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (or Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).
Go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl
Find the exact version of libssl for example libssl1.1.1
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb
Then install
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb
Hope this helps others who are trying to do the same.
The issue is referenced in https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/24759.

Just run the command sudo apt install mongodb it will install the mongodb, because mongodb is now part of ubuntu repository. After installation run command sudo service mongodb start to start the mongodb server. Then if you run command mongo it will give you shell helper. To see the existing database use command show dbs. After successfull installation you will find there pre existing database names are admin, config, local. Use command db to see which database is currently running on server, there will a database named test or somthing. To add a collection (tables on SQL DB) just use the insert command with an initial document (row in SQL DB) information db.data.insert({"username":"Brad Pitt"})
In previous command data is my collection name.
Now to see all documents in data collection just use command db.data.find();
Other commands:
sudo service mongod status, sudo service mongodb stop, sudo service mongod restart ,sudo service mongod stop.
For more information, you can visit https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

For me on Pop_OS Linux 20.04 LTS helped:
$ sudo apt-get purge mongodb*
Then creating /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list file for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) via this command:
$ echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
instead of Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)
After that install mongodb-org:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
And start mongodb service:
$ sudo systemctl start mongod
This issue is only on Ubuntu 22.04,
Try this out:
echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1
Try this, I successfully find this out
$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb
I previously could install postgresql but then I uninstalled and installed it again, now if I try:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
This will appear:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postgresql : Depends: postgresql-9.4 but it is not going to be installed
postgresql-contrib : Depends: postgresql-contrib-9.4 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
What's wrong here?
I want to remodel starting from scratch. So what I did before:
sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/
sudo rm -rf /var/log/postgresql/
sudo rm -rf /etc/postgresql/
You may have a broken database. Try: sudo apt-get --fix-broken
Alternatively, it may be that there are files left behind that are conflicting with version 9.4 of postgresql. If you can, install the version of postgresql you had before, then, using dpkg-query -L <package_name>, you can see what files were installed and what you may have left behind.
run the following.
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install postgresql postgresql-contrib
