Install MongoDB on centos without YUM

Question

I am trying to install mongodb on cent os. As mentioned in the question, I need to install it without YUM command. I downloaded the .rpm file from mongodb site . I have used rpm -ivh mongo-10gen-2.4.8-mongodb_1.x86_64.rpm command to install the .rpm. It successfully installed the mongodb. You can check the status here . I am not getting how to move forward after this ? The files mongod.conf and mongod also not getting on the system. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The mongo-10gen-2.4.8-mongodb_1.x86_64.rpm is only MongoDB client. If you need a server, install a server package (mongo-10gen-server-XXX-mongodb_1.x86_64.rpm) or compile from a source.
