So you will need to edit your sources list by hand to add only the above line. Note that if you add this repository using the Software Center, it will automatically add a deb-src entry, which will break apt-get. Installing the 10gen MongoDB packagesįollow the 10gen instructions for adding their repository: sudo apt-key adv -keyserver -recv 7F0CEB10Įdit /etc/apt/sources.list, delete any lines you have already added for Mongo, and add the following single line (since 11.10 uses upstart) at the end: deb dist 10gen

If you've installed by building from source or using the 10gen binary distributions, then you'll need to manually uninstall and clean up from wherever you put the binary files, config and data files. If you want to completely clean up, you might also want to remove the data directory /var/lib/mongodb, so long as you backed it up or don't want it any more. This should also remove your config from /etc/nf. Some of those commands may fail, depending on what packages you actually have installed, but that's okay. Since I'm not 100% what you've got installed, I suggest the following to make sure everything is uninstalled: sudo apt-get purge mongodb mongodb-clients mongodb-server mongodb-dev So if you want to take a backup, take a copy of the files from there and keep them in a safe place. By default, it is stored in /var/lib/mongodb. If you have existing data that you want to keep, you could take a backup of it.

I suggest that first of all, you completely uninstall Mongo and clean up your system. The error message you quote suggests that you might have already tried this, since version 2.0.1 is not a standard Ubuntu package.
#Uninstall mongodb compass mac install#
The standard packages are out of date, especially for older releases of Ubuntu, so it is probably a good idea to set yourself up to install from the 10gen repositories. There are two sets of packages for MongoDB the standard Ubuntu packages, and a set published by 10gen themselves.
