Use the RPM packages.
In case of Fedora MongoDB RPM Package,
mongodb RPM includes the client commands "mongo".
mongodb-server RPM includes the server files and the commands such as "mongod" and "mongos".
Install
Install is easy. Just type dnf install.
Build single non-sharding and single server, as it is used as a local development.
$ sudo dnf install mongo mongodb-server
$ rpm -q mongodb mongodb-server mongodb-3.4.3-1.fc26.x86_64 mongodb-server-3.4.3-1.fc26.x86_64
$ rpm -ql mongodb /usr/bin/mongo /usr/bin/mongobridge /usr/bin/mongoperf /usr/share/doc/mongodb /usr/share/doc/mongodb/README /usr/share/licenses/mongodb /usr/share/licenses/mongodb/APACHE-2.0.txt /usr/share/licenses/mongodb/GNU-AGPL-3.0.txt /usr/share/man/man1/mongo.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mongoperf.1.gz
$ rpm -ql mongodb-server /etc/logrotate.d/mongodb /etc/mongod.conf /etc/mongos.conf /etc/sysconfig/mongod /etc/sysconfig/mongos /usr/bin/mongod /usr/bin/mongos /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongos.service /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mongodb.conf /usr/share/man/man1/mongod.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mongos.1.gz /var/lib/mongodb /var/log/mongodb /var/run/mongodb
$ cat /etc/passwd | grep mongodb mongodb:x:184:184:MongoDB Database Server:/var/lib/mongodb:/sbin/nologin
Configuration
Change the database directory's partition.
As /var/lib/mongodb used as storage directory is in small sized partition, I changed it to bigger /home partition.
$ mkdir -p /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb $ sudo chown mongodb:root /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb $ ls -dl /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb drwxrwxr-x 2 mongodb root 4096 Nov 12 22:18 /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb $ chmod 755 /home/jaruga
$ cd /var/lib $ sudo rm -rf mongodb $ sudo ln -s /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb mongodb $ ls -l /var/lib/mongodb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 12 22:26 /var/lib/mongodb -> /home/jaruga/var/lib/mongodb/
