E: Unable to locate package mongodb-org

I am trying to download mongodb and I am following the steps on this link.

But when I get to the step:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mongodb-org  //This is the error

Why is this occurring and is there a work around?

You first need to add the package database and add the PGP key.

Run the following.

#add pgp key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10


#add package file
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list


#update package list
sudo apt-get update


#install mongo
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

I have faced the same issue but then fixed it by the changing the package file section command. The steps that I followed were:

First try with this command:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

This is the unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu and it is not maintained by MongoDB and conflicts with MongoDB’s officially supported packages.

If the above command doesn't work then you can fix the issue by one of the following procedures:

Step 1: Import the MongoDB public key

In Ubuntu 18.*+, you may get invalid signatures. --recv value may need to be updated to EA312927.

See here for more details on the invalid signature issue: MongoDB GPG - Invalid Signatures

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10

Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

Step 3: Refresh the local database with the packages

sudo apt-get update

Step 4: Install the last stable MongoDB version and all the necessary packages on our system

sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

Or if the unofficial mongodb package provided by Ubuntu is not maintained by MongoDB and conflict with MongoDB’s officially supported packages. Use the official MongoDB mongodb-org packages, which are kept up-to-date with the most recent major and minor MongoDB releases.

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

Hope this will work for you also. You can follow this MongoDB

Update

The above instruction will install mongodb 2.6 version, if you want to install latest version for Ubuntu 12.04 then just omit the above step 2 and follow below instruction instead of that:

Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 then use bellow step instead of above step 2

Step 2: Generate a file with the MongoDB repository url

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list

The currently accepted answer works, but will install an outdated version of Mongo.

The Mongo documentation states that: MongoDB only provides packages for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) and 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr). However, These packages may work with other Ubuntu releases.

So, to get the lastest stable Mongo (3.0), use this (the different step is the second one):

    apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
apt-get update
apt-get install mongodb-org

Hope this helps.

I would like to add that as a previous step, you must check your GNU/Linux Distro Release, which will construct the Repo list url. For me, as I am using this:

DISTRIB_CODENAME=rafaela
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"

The original 2nd step:

"Create a list file for MongoDB": "echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list"

Didn't work as intended because it generated an incorrect Repo url. Basically, it put the distribution codename "rafaela" within the url repo which doesn't exist. You can check the Repo url at your package manager under Software Sources, Additional Repositories.

What I did was to browse the site:

http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/

And I found out that for Ubuntu, "trusty" and "precise" are the only web folders available, not "rafaela".

Solution: Open as root the file 'mongodb-org-3.1.list' or 'mongodb.list' and replace "rafaela" or your release version for the corresponding version (for me it was: "trusty"), save the changes and continue with next steps. Also, your package manager can let you change easily the repo url as well.

Hope it works for you.! ---

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04; and apt still couldn't find package; I tried all the answers above and more. The URL that worked for me is this:

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

Try without '-org':

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

Worked for me!

I had the same issue in 14.04, but I fixed it by these steps:

  1. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
  2. echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu "$(lsb_release -sc)"/mongodb- org/3.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
  3. sudo apt-get update
  4. sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

It worked like charm :)

The true problem here may be if you have a 32-bit system. MongoDB 3.X was never made to be used on a 32-bit system, so the repostories for 32-bit is empty (hence why it is not found). Installing the default 2.X Ubuntu package might be your best bet with:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb


Another workaround, if you nevertheless want to get the latest version of Mongo:

You can go to https://www.mongodb.org/downloads and use the drop-down to select "Linux 32-bit legacy"

But it comes with severe limitations...

This 32-bit legacy distribution does not include SSL encryption and is limited to around 2GB of data. In general you should use the 64 bit builds. See here for more information.

All steps are correct just change the Step 4 as below

  • Step 4: Install the last stable MongoDB version and all the necessary packages on our system

Command: sudo apt-get install mongodb

It has worked for me.

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb

it works for 32-bit ubuntu, try it.best of luck.

If you are currently using the MongoDB 3.3 Repository (as officially currently suggested by MongoDB website) you should take in consideration that the package name used for version 3.3 is:

mongodb-org-unstable

Then the proper installation command for this version will be:

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org-unstable

Considering this, I will rather suggest to use the current latest stable version (v3.2) until the v3.3 becomes stable, the commands to install it are listed below:

Download the v3.2 Repository key:

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.2.asc | sudo apt-key add -

If you work with Ubuntu 12.04 or Mint 13 add the following repository:

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu precise/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list

If you work with Ubuntu 14.04 or Mint 17 add the following repository:

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list

If you work with Ubuntu 16.04 or Mint 18 add the following repository:

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.2 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.2.list

Update the package list and install mongo:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

This worked on Ubuntu 17.04

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5


echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

If you see a failure like:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-tools_3.6.2_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/bsondump', which is also in package mongo-tools 3.2.11-1
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Then run this command:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" |

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list

and

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mongodb-org

I had the same problems on Ubuntu 16.04 when I followed the steps posted on the official document.
Then I remove the text "[ arch=amd64,arm64 ]" in step2 and it works for me. 

echo "deb https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
apt-get install -y mongodb-org
