In this article, we will see how to install MongoDB enterprise edition on CentOS operating system.
MongoDB is open source and document oriented database. It is classified as a NoSQL database because it does not rely on a traditional table-based relational database structure. Instead, it uses JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas. Unlike relational databases, MongoDB does not require a predefined schema before you add data to a database.

1). Adding the MongoDB Repository
2). Installing MongoDB
3). Start and Connect to MongoDB server
4). Create a database in MongoDB server
