MongoDB installation steps for Raspberry Pi

• Update your system to newest version :

  sudo apt-get update

• Install required libraries :

  sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev scons libboost-all-dev python-pymongo git

• Clone mongodbPi repo

  git clone https://github.com/hereshem/mongoPi.git

• Goto the directory

  cd mongoPi

• Run scons (this may take several hours) :

  sudo scons

• Run the installation codes (once again it also take few hours) :

  sudo scons --prefix=/opt/mongo install

• Permissions for users and groups :

  sudo adduser --firstuid 100 --ingroup nogroup --shell /etc/false --disabled-password --gecos "" --no-create-home mongodb

• A folder for our log files to go :

  sudo mkdir /var/log/mongodb/

• Permissions for log file :

  sudo chown mongodb:nogroup /var/log/mongodb/

• A folder for our state data :

  sudo mkdir /var/lib/mongodb

• Permissions for the folder :

  sudo chown mongodb:nogroup /var/lib/mongodb

• Moving our init.d script to etc:

  sudo cp debian/init.d /etc/init.d/mongod

• Moving our config file to etc:

  sudo cp debian/mongodb.conf /etc/

• Linking folders up:

  sudo ln -s /opt/mongo/bin/mongod /usr/bin/mongod

• Make sure the init.d script is executable and complete the installation

  sudo chmod u+x /etc/init.d/mongod sudo update-rc.d mongod defaults

• We can now start MongoDB using the following command:

  sudo /etc/init.d/mongod start
