I am following https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/#install-mongodb-community-edition to install mongodb on Lubuntu 18.04

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

The second command has xenial, and do I need to change it to bionic?

Why in my following experiment with the change, it doesn't work?

$ echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

MongoDB has not setup repo for bionic at this time, only for xenial. That's why if you change the repo to point to bionic, there is nothing there.

Many xenial repo may work with bionic as many libraries and dependencies are flxible and are able to function in the new updated Ubuntu environment. Keep using the xenial repo unless you run into incompatibility iesues. Once MongoDB releases the repo for bionic, you can then switch over.

  • Thanks. When the bionic version is available, to switch over, do I only need to run echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse, without uninstalling mongodb, and run sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade?

    Normally I would remove the mongodb from one repo before switching over. It should keep the user data alone unless you use purge instead of remove. Do apt remove first, switch to the new repo, do the apt update then install the mongodb from the new repo. Jul 17, 2018 at 22:28
  • Why would you remove it? without removing it, will it be upgraded after changing xenial to bionic in the repo?

  • The danger of leaving packages around is that you might run into situation like this one, askubuntu.com/questions/1054292/… Jul 17, 2018 at 22:30
  • Do you mean I will have two versions of Mongodb installed?
