I promised to get back when I had mongo-db up and running.

In my blog post yesterday I pointed to his url : (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Ubuntu+and+Debian+packages)

And I did in fact install mongo using the instructions there, but I actually found the description to be confusing with the same step repeated.

Thus, here is what I did.

Opened /etc/apt/sources.list:

1

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Added the following line:

1

deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen

Added the key from command line:

1

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

Updated from the repository and installed latest stable version of mongo:

1
2

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

Seems to be working quite well.
