**1.Install Required Tools (gnupg & curl)**

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gnupg curl

These are needed to import MongoDB’s GPG key.

**2. Import the MongoDB GPG Key**

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-8.0.asc \
| sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg --dearmor

**3. Add the MongoDB APT Repository**

**Create the repo file:**

echo "deb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg ] \
https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc)/mongodb-org/8.0 multiverse" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-8.0.list

This tells Ubuntu where to fetch official MongoDB packages.

**4. Update Package Index**

sudo apt-get update

**5. Install MongoDB**

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

**6. Start & Enable MongoDB Service**

**Start MongoDB:**

sudo systemctl start mongod

**Enable on boot:**

sudo systemctl enable mongod

**Check status:**

sudo systemctl status mongod

**7. Verify MongoDB is Running**
