With version 3.0 MongoDB has split the package into parts. E.g. you may install just mongo shell. Take a look at this article.

Answer 2

This was some time back. I have mongo working OK

Un install anything you have NOW ... There is a default Mongo comes with Ubuntu.

Visit the Ubuntu Mongo-shell installation.

• Install Mongo on Ubuntu

The other Install-s appear to depend on the shell install. I find that refreshing actually. I wish real databases(tm) would pay attention. Things USED-TO work like that. All the time. Wow.

The other useful tidbits are ...

1. stop
2. restart
3. start

And

4. configuration.
   • file: /etc/mongod.conf
   • see also: /etc/init.d/README file.

You can try this

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian jessie/mongodb-org/3.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
