1.Log in to the Linux server as the root user.

Note: It is highly recommended to install numactl on this Linux Server to optimize MongoDB performance. Run the rpm -qa|grep numactl command to check whether it has already been installed. If it has not been installed yet and the Linux server has access to the Internet, run the yum install numactl command to install it online.

2.Run the mkdir command to create a directory under the /opt directory to place the installation package. For example, netbraintemp8.0.3.

Note: Do not place the installation package under any personal directories, such as /root.

3.Run the cd /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 command to navigate to the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory.

4.Download the installation package.

▪Option 1: If the Linux server has no access to the Internet, obtain the mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel7-4.0.6-8.0.3.tar.gz file from NetBrain and upload it to the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory by using a file transfer tool.  

▪Option 2: If the Linux server has access to the Internet, run the
wget <download link> command under the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory to directly download the mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel7-4.0.6-8.0.3.tar.gz file from NetBrain official download site.

Note: Contact NetBrain Support Team to get the download link. The download link is case-sensitive.

Tip: Run the yum -y install wget command to install the wget command if it has not been installed on the server.

5.Run the tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel7-4.0.6-8.0.3.tar.gz command under the /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3 directory to extract installation files.

[root@centos netbraintemp8.0.3]# tar -zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel7-4.0.6-8.0.3.tar.gz
MongoDB/
MongoDB/config/
MongoDB/config/setup.conf
...
MongoDB/install.sh
MongoDB/others/
MongoDB/others/install.conf
MongoDB/others/setup.conf.template
MongoDB/others/uninstall.sh
...

6.Run the cd MongoDB/config command to navigate to the config directory.

7.Modify the parameters in the setup.conf file located under the config directory according to your environment and save the changes. For how to modify the configuration file, refer to Editing a File with VI Editor.

[root@centos config]# vi setup.conf
#NetBrain Database configuration file
#Note: other than the database username and password, other entries
#can only contain letters and numbers, and should start with a letter.
DataPath=/usr/lib/mongodb
LogPath=/var/log/mongodb
BindIp=10.10.3.142
FQDN=127.0.0.1
#The port must be between 1025 and 65535.
Port=27017
ReplicaSetName=rs
UseSSL=no
Certificate=/etc/ssl/cert.pem
PrivateKey=/etc/ssl/key.pem
#The UserName or Password cannot be empty
#The UserName or Password should not contain: {}[]:",'|<>@&^%\ or a space.
#The length of UserName or Password should not be more than 64 characters.
UserName=admin
Password=admin
CPULimit=55%
MemoryLimit=55%
#List all replica set members. The members should be separated with spaces. The total number of members should be an odd number.
#The first member will be used as the primary member, the last will be used as the arbiter. The rest are the secondary members.
#It is recommended to use FQDN. The address of 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 is not allowed. For example:
#ReplicaSetMembers="192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3"
ReplicaSetMembers=10.10.3.142

8.Run the cd .. command to navigate to the MongoDB directory.

9. Run the ./install.sh script under the MongoDB directory to install MongoDB as well as create the configured admin username and password for logging in to MongoDB.

10. After MongoDB is successfully installed, run the reboot command to restart the machine.

11. After the machine starts, run the ps -ef|grep mongo or systemctl status mongod command to verify whether its service starts successfully.

[root@centos ~]# ps -ef|grep mongo
netbrain  46482     1  3 01:30 ?        00:00:03 /bin/mongod -f /etc/mongodb/mongod.conf

...

Note: When your disk space is insufficient for large amounts of logs, you can modify the log settings in the mongod.conf file under the /etc/logrotate.d directory.

Tip: You do not need to initialize NetBrain data in the MongoDB because the initialization will be automatically performed when you install the Web API Server or Worker Server later.

Tip: It is highly recommended to run the rm -rf /opt/netbraintemp8.0.3/MongoDB/config/setup.conf command to delete the setup.conf file from the server after MongoDB is successfully installed because the file may cause security vulnerability.
