how to install mongodb on ubuntu 25.04

MongoDB 7.0 runs smoothly on Ubuntu 25.04 once the repository is added, the packages are installed, and the service is enabled. This setup provides a reliable foundation for database operations.

Step 1: Import MongoDB Public GPG Key

Importing the MongoDB GPG key ensures that the MongoDB packages are trusted and verify their integrity during installation.

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc | sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg --dearmor

Step 2: Create MongoDB Source List File

Add the MongoDB repository to your system’s package source list to download the latest MongoDB packages compatible with Ubuntu 25.04.

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

Step 3: Update the Package Database

Refreshing the package index makes the system aware of the newly added MongoDB repository and available packages.

sudo apt update

Step 4: Install MongoDB Packages

Install the official MongoDB server packages along with command-line tools and components needed for running MongoDB.

sudo apt install -y mongodb-org

Step 5: Start and Enable MongoDB Service

Start the MongoDB service and configure it to start automatically on system boot.

sudo systemctl start mongod  
sudo systemctl enable mongod

Step 6: Verify MongoDB Installation

Check the status of the MongoDB service to ensure it is running properly.

sudo systemctl status mongod
