Environmental Variable Setup MongoDB – Linux

Environmental Variable Setup MongoDB – Linux

Copy the bin path where the mongo binaries are stored,

/home/ec2-user/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.2.18/bin

Edit ~/.bashrc file as shown below,

# vi ~/.bashrc

Just edit the export path

From export PATH=/usr/bin/:$PATH

To export PATH=/home/ec2-user/mongodb-linux-x86_64-3.2.18/bin/:$PATH

# :wq

We need the source bashrc to reload -

# source ~/.bashrc

Now start the server without giving the entire path,

# mongod --dbpath /home/ec2-user/data/db

To start the client,

Open another command prompt, just type mongo –

# mongo

Done...
