This article demonstrates the MongoDB installation procedure in utterly simple steps. MongoDB is assumed to be the replacement of traditional relational databases. It is one of the leading Open Source NoSQL document-oriented database.
Overview
MongoDB is developed in C++ language and is designed to work with large web applications. It is unlike other databases and introduces Collections as alternate to tables and Document as a set of key-value pairs which is equivalent to tuples in standard databases.
Pre-requisites
- You must have a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server installation.
- You should either be a root user or can be a non-root user but with sudo access privileges.
