Install MongoDB on CentOs 7 without YUM. have rpm files but not tgz

Question

I'm fairly new to Linux and am running CentOS 7. I can do the basics of navigating, creating dirctories, permissions, unzip applications and make SL to the apps but I have no idea what to do with an "rpm" file.

The system that I am trying to install MongoDB 4.2.x on does not have an outside connection. I have the individual rpm files for MongoDB but not the tgz which some article I read said I should use. There is no way for me to get the tgz over to the machine unless I wait several days.

With only the .rpm files, how do I install MongoDB?

[ https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat/][1]

The instructions in the above link say to create the .repo file but that makes a reference to the external URL which the system does not have access to.

[mongodb-org-4.2]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/

• Again, with only the .rpm files, how do I install MongoDB?

Answer 1

You do need some kind of access to the outside world; you need to get the rpm files on your machine...

you can just manually download the rpm files you need from https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/7/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/RPMS/ , copy them to your machine, and then run

yum install /path/to/downloaded/mongodb*rpm
