How to install MongoDB in Ubuntu 10.10

10gen publishes apt-gettable packages for MongoDB, those packages are generally fresher than those in Ubuntu.

So, to install MongoDB from 10gen packages do this:

1. Add MongoDB repository into Ubuntu

   Add the following line to /etc/apt/source.list file:

   deb http://downloads.mongodb.org/distros/ubuntu 10.10 10gen

2. Create PGP key and Install MongoDB

   We need to generate key to gain access into MongoDB repository. Use this:

   $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
   

   Then update your repository:

   $ sudo apt-get update
   

   And install MongoDB:

   $ sudo apt-get install mongodb-stable
