At the moment of writing this article, the latest MongoDB version available in the official Ubuntu 18.04 repository is 3.6.3. While this server version will work fine, it&#8217;s always ideal to use the latest version possible. In order to install a more recent version of MongoDB, we will install the database server from the MongoDB repositories. These repositories can be easily added by importing the MongoDB public key with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-key adv --keyserver hkp:\/\/keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4<\/pre>\n<p>Output:<\/p>\n<pre>Executing: \/tmp\/apt-key-gpghome.LTAnWbMyRv\/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp:\/\/keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4\r\ngpg: key 68818C72E52529D4: public key \"MongoDB 4.0 Release Signing Key &lt;packaging@mongodb.com&gt;\" imported\r\ngpg: Total number processed: 1\r\ngpg:               imported: 1<\/pre>\n<p>Then add the repository and install the MongoDB database server along with a few of its dependencies:<\/p>\n<pre>echo \"deb https:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu bionic\/mongodb-org\/4.0 multiverse\" | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/mongodb-org-4.0.list\r\napt update &amp;&amp; apt install -y mongodb-org curl graphicsmagick<\/pre>\n<p>With this step, MongoDB is now installed and ready to use. We can check the version using the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mongod -version\r\nversion v4.0.6<\/pre>\n<p>But in order to start it as a service, a systemd unit file is required. Create a file in \/etc\/systemd\/system\/ using your preferred text editor &#8211; we&#8217;ll be using &#8216;nano&#8217;. We can create it with the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/systemd\/system\/mongodb.service<\/pre>\n<p>Now add these contents to the file:<\/p>\n<pre>[Unit]\r\nDescription=High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database server\r\nAfter=network.target\r\n\r\n[Service]\r\nUser=mongodb\r\nExecStart=\/usr\/bin\/mongod --quiet --config \/etc\/mongod.conf\r\n\r\n[Install]\r\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>When finished, save and exit the file. Then reload the units using systemctl:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl daemon-reload<\/pre>\n<p>Now we can check if MongoDB is up and running. That can be done using this command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl status mongodb<\/pre>\n<p>The output should look like this:<\/p>\n<pre>mongodb.service - High-performance, schema-free document-oriented database\r\n   Loaded: loaded (\/etc\/systemd\/system\/mongodb.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)\r\n   Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-03-15 03:42:11 CDT; 59min ago\r\n Main PID: 30802 (mongod)\r\n    Tasks: 27 (limit: 2320)\r\n   CGroup: \/system.slice\/mongodb.service\r\n           30802 \/usr\/bin\/mongod --quiet --config \/etc\/mongod.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Next, start the MongoDB server and enable it to automatically start after a reboot.<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mongodb\r\nsystemctl enable mongodb<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-Nodejs\"><\/span><strong>Step 3: Install Node.js<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rocket.Chat requires Node.js.
