Not able to Install Mongo Db on AWS Linux 2023

Question

I'm trying to install mongodb in Amazon Linux with below configuration

NAME="Amazon Linux"
VERSION="2023"
ID="amzn"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VERSION_ID="2023"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:al2023"
PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2023"

I tried to install using Tarball and repo. However it got failed with below error

[root@ip ~]# mongod --version

AWS have removed 1500 RPMs from AL2023 compared to what was in AL2. They've also standardised on openssl 3 which makes dragging in other RPMs more problematic. Of course AWS would prefer you to use their mongo service and their IPSEC service and their DNS service.... – Sporangium

This is an old question, but the Mongo documentation has been updated with instructions for Amazon Linux 2023. mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-amazon – Offcolor

I got this working in AWS Linux 2023 (aka AL2023) by

edit /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-7.0.repo with the content:

[mongodb-org-AL2023]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2023/mongodb-org/development/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc

Then install packages with yum install mongodb-org-database mongodb-org-database-tools-extra

You'll get a key prompt like this

Importing GPG key 0x1785BA38:
 Userid     : "MongoDB 7.0 Release Signing Key <[email protected]>"
 Fingerprint: E588 3020 1F7D D82C D808 AA84 160D 26BB 1785 BA38
 From       : https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc
Is this ok [y/N]: y

After that you'll have a new systemd service called mongod.service to treat as normal.

Now, some caveats:

• This hasn't been announced yet AFAIK so perhaps don't run production loads straight off, or at least have backups/snapshots.
• Look in https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2023/mongodb-org/development/x86_64/RPMS/ and there are RPMs that won't install by name because of dependencies. Be aware.

Good luck !

Mongo 7.0 appears to be available now. Earlier releases are listed but don't have the mongodb-org rpms. repo.mongodb.org/yum/amazon/2023/mongodb-org/7.0/x86_64/RPMS – Tree
