How to install mongodb 6.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 - Ops and Admin / Installation & Upgrades - MongoDB Developer Community Forums

“Fast release cycles” of operating systems favor the latest versions of libraries (ubuntu comes every 6 months). unfortunately, “latest” does not always mean proven to be “stable” or easy to migrate. Stability is important for server programs like MongoDB so they have to use battle-tested libraries (even if they may have bugs) hence the delay of support to newer OS versions.

The fortunate thing is older libraries can still be installed and used mostly without any problems if all their dependencies can also be installed. you just need to dive into some settings manually. that is until developers manage to migrate to new libraries, which MongoDB also did but that is not just reflected in documents yet.

actually, it is not that easy (or complicated, depending on where you look at it) as you describe.

you can use any version of any library (even 30 years old ones) as long as their dependencies do not contradict what the current OS uses, provided they work with the architecture.

Ubuntu 22.x is called “jammy” and installs packages with that name. but you can still install packages from older (bionic, focal, trusty etc.) repositories if you need them. You just need to add their repository url to the apt source list file. the same also goes for independent packages like MongoDB: they have their own repository urls you need to add to apt source list.

Here in this topic, installing MongoDB 6.0 on Ubuntu 22.x, we have two options:

• add one of older ubuntu repositories to your apt list (then follow remaining steps):

  • echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list

• wait for a new build (which is already here) and use it (@chris mentioned this many times)

  • echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list

The first method uses MongoDB built for “ubuntu/focal” and the second one uses “ubuntu/jammy” build. The only thing missing is the official installation page does not yet have this on it.

One can easily see which versions have been built for which ubuntu here: MongoDB Repositories. If you follow “Parent Directory” link, you can even find builds for other Linux distros there.

if you see only 1 line of output, then it most possibly means what you have installed is not 4.4 version. Here is what I get for mongodb 4.4 on a WSL-Ubuntu 22.04:

$ ldd $(which mongod) | grep libssl
libssl.so.1.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 (0x00007f8e25ed4000)
libssl.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3 (0x00007f8e25a03000)

I don’t know what steps/tutorials you have followed, but if you need 4.4 on Ubuntu 22.04, then one easy way is to just follow instruction for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) on Mongodb 4.4 installation page and, anywhere before actual install step, run the following to be able to get “libssl1.1” from focal’s official repository.

echo "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/focal-security.list

This works because any linux application can run on any distribution as long as the dependencies can be found and run on the current system. and above command just adds/tells where to find working openssl-1.1

You can use it for any program (or any mongodb version) that needs openssl-1.1 for new Ubuntu versions (as long as they keep compatibility). You execute this command and then follow the instructions to install with sudo apt-get install .... It will know where to look for the libssl1.1

By the way, did you notice what happened to the actual command in your reply? when you add code blocks or commands, add them in backticks, just like you quote “important” things. single ` (or double``) backticks for inline, and triple ```(or quad ````) backticks for blocks.
