Installing Mongodb in Arch Linux

You can easily install MongoDB in Arch-base Linux by following commands:

pamac search -a mongodb-bin
pamac info -a mongodb-bin

And, then build and install with (this can be done after manually cloning too) -

pamac build mongodb-bin

Did you encounter a problem in MongoDB?

As shown below, the service does not run and has an error. This is a file access and execution error. The easiest way is as follows:

[max@base first-nodejs-apollo-graphql]$ sudo systemctl status mongodb
● mongodb.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2020-12-24 05:16:07 +0330; 4s ago

Modify /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service file. However, manipulating these accesses is not recommended.

Anyway, You can change user from mongodb to root to solve this problem:

[Unit]
Description=High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --quiet --config /etc/mongodb.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And then:

$ systemctl daemon-reload

$ sudo systemctl restart mongodb

$ sudo systemctl status mongodb
● mongodb.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2020-12-24 05:16:39 +0330; 2s ago

$ sudo systemctl enable mongodb
