Connecting to MongoDB as client using mongosh#
By default, MongoDB does not provide a repository for Fedora, they only have for RHEL / CentOS Stream / Oracle / Rocky / AlmaLinux. And since Fedora 40 is the latest version, we can use official MongoDB repository for redhat-9.
Create new file on /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-7.0.repo with following contents:
1
2
3
4
5
6
| [mongodb-org-7.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9Server/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc
|
Then you can search for mongosh to get name of the package to install
