3 Easy Steps to properly install MongoDB on your Ubuntu 18.04 LTS



So, what is MongoDB?

MongoDB is a cross-platform document-oriented database program. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with schema. MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc. and licensed under the Server Side Public License (SSPL).

There are already a lot of articles and blog posts about why to use MongoDB instead of RDBMS, such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreDB, etc... And the intention of this post is NOT to glorify (again) the good of MongoDB, but to show people how easy to install MongoDB on your existing Ubuntu distributions.

In just 3 easy steps, you can get your MongoDB installed in no time:

1) Thoguth a terminal or a shell, type

# sudo apt update

this is to update your package repository so you will pull the latest MongoDB

 2) Installing MongoDB


# sudo apt install mongo-tools mongodb mongodb-clients mongodb-dev mongodb-server mongodb-server-core
this will install all of the needed packages for a *complete* MongoDB installation. Why not just do a 'apt install mongodb' and let apt figure things out? Because my experience with that is MongoDB would never get install properly - missing /etc/mongodb.conf, missing default database files in /var/lib/mongodb, mongodb wouldn't start, etc... Basically, just tons of weird issues and problems that should not have happened in the first place.
So, trust me ! do the commands like I've listed above to save you a lot of headaches !

3) Double check the installation

# sudo systemctl status mongodb 
When everything has been installed properly, you will see something like this:
 


And,



You have now installed MongoDB on your Ubuntu !!

What are the major differences between RISC-V and traditional RISC CPUs?

Image
For those of you new to RISC-V, it is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that began as a 2010 project of UC Berkeley’s Parallel Computing Laboratory and is now ushering in a new era of chip design and innovation. As the adoption of RISC-V accelerates, it will be used to support a plethora of devices and products, from automotive to 5G and wireless networking, to data centers and beyond. We are seeing new RISC-V architectures that are, for example, designed to deliver new capabilities for pre-silicon development, allowing new ways for SoC (System-on-Chip) architects and system software developers to define new products. This enables organizations to quickly prototype a product, including products for automotive with safety packages. (an excerpt from “Driving the Future of Chip Innovation: Top Three Reasons to Adopt RISC-V” by Desi Banatao) As a RISC architecture, the RISC-V ISA is a  load–store architecture . Its floating-point instructions use  IEEE 754  floating-poi
