wget https://download.robomongo.org/0.9.0/linux/robomongo-0.9.0-linux-x86_64-0786489.tar.gz

Second way

robomongo

Very Important Notice:

all version less than robomongo program 0.9.* version has both deb file and tar.gz file download urls(I didn't know what is the reason for this) So If you need download version less than 0.9.* version you can use one of two ways But If you need download version 0.9.0 there only one way is the first ones
