Setup MongoDB on Linux

Due to there is no a facility for linux, I will post here some steps to do it:

• Install mongodb
• Install Pip, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper
• Install pymongo and bottle

Install MongoDB

• sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10
• create this file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list and add this to it
  • deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
• start pymongo service
  • sudo service mongod start

Install pip, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper

• sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip -y
• sudo pip install virtualenv
• sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
• mkdir ~/.virtualenvs
• add this lines at the end of your .bashrc file, open it with gedit or vim
  • vim .bashrc
    • export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
    • . /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
  • save and close .bashrc
  • to make it work restart your terminal or run . .bashrc on it
• create a new virtual enviroment with
  • mkvirtualenv mongodev
• use the command workon to start your virtualenv
  • e.g workon mongodev
  • to deactivate your virtual env, use the command 'deactivate' :)

Install pymongo and bottle

• start your virtualenv
  • workon mongodev
  • that will look like (mongodev) home
• use pip to install pymongo and bottle
  • pip install pymongo
  • pip install bottle
• to check what you have install in your virtualenv use
  • pip freeze
