How to Install MongoDB on CentOS
1. Create a Virtual Machine in your Laptop with CentOS 6.x
1.1 Create a mongodb directory under /opt to install mongodb
[root@localhost opt]# ls -ltr
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 15 22:19 mongodb
[root@localhost opt]#
[root@localhost opt]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)
[root@localhost opt]#
1.2 Download MongoDB
[root@localhost opt]# curl -O https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4.tgz
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current

Note: Check my Link how to bridge your laptop internet to the VM created on Your Laptop
2. Extract the files from the downloaded archive.
tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4.tgz
3. Copy the extracted archive to the target directory.
cp -R -n mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4/ /opt/mongodb
4. Confirm the Binaries are extracted
[root@localhost mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4]# ls -ltr
total 120
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 55625 May 15 22:22 THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 1359 May 15 22:22 README
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 16726 May 15 22:22 MPL-2
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 34520 May 15 22:22 GNU-AGPL-3.0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 15 22:22 bin
[root@localhost mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4]# pwd
/opt/mongodb/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4
[root@localhost mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4]#
5. Ensure the location of the binaries is in the PATH variable.
The MongoDB binaries are in the bin/ directory of the archive. To ensure that the binaries are in your PATH, you can modify your PATH.
export PATH=<mongodb-install-directory>/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/mongodb/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4/bin:$PATH
[root@localhost ~]# cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
export PATH=/opt/mongodb/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4/bin:$PATH
[root@localhost ~]#
6. Logout and Login again or reload the profile to get PATH variable updated
[root@localhost ~]# echo $PATH
/opt/mongodb/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
[root@localhost ~]#
7. Run MongoDB Community Edition
7.1 Create the data directory.
[root@localhost opt]# mkdir db
[root@localhost opt]# cd db
[root@localhost db]# pwd
/opt/db
7.2 Set permissions for the data directory.
7.3 Run MongoDB
[root@localhost ~]# env |grep PATH
PATH=/mongodb/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.4.4/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
[root@localhost ~]#
mongod –dbpath <path to data directory>
mongod –dbpath /opt/db
[root@localhost db]# mongod –dbpath /opt/db
