How can I install MongoDB 4 on Debian 10 (Buster)?. MongoDB is an open source NoSQL database written in C++ for massive scalability, high performance, and availability. As of this article update, the repositories available are for Debian 9. We will add some hacks to Install MongoDB 4 on Debian 10 (Buster). But once the repository is available for Debian 10, this article will be updated.
Here are the steps you’ll need to Install MongoDB 4 on Debian 10 (Buster). I’m doing this setup on a fresh minimal installation of Debian 10 server. This is recommended to ensure you don’t break running applications dependencies.
Add MongoDB repository
Import MongoDB GPG Key
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install gnupg2
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -Then add repository URL to your Debian system.
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian buster/mongodb-org/4.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org.listInstall MongoDB Server
We have added required repositories and installed libcurl3. Let’s now install MongoDB on Debian 10 (Stretch).
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install mongodb-org
Get package information with apt info command.
$ apt info mongodb-org

Enable MongoDB's free cloud-based monitoring service, which will then receive and display
metrics about your deployment (disk utilization, CPU, operation statistics, etc).
The monitoring data will be available on a MongoDB website with a unique URL accessible to you
and anyone you share the URL with. MongoDB may use this information to make product
improvements and to suggest MongoDB products and deployment options to you.
To enable free monitoring, run the following command: db.enableFreeMonitoring()
To permanently disable this reminder, run the following command: db.disableFreeMonitoring()
