Wondering how to install mongoDB 3.0 on CentOS release 6.5?

Here's the step by step guide.
 

1) Configure the package management system (yum).

#vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.0.repo

For this version of MongoDB Use the following repository file:

[mongodb-org-3.0]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/3.0/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

2) Install the MongoDB packages and associated tools.

To install the latest stable version of MongoDB, issue the following command:

#sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

To install a specific release of MongoDB, specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example:

#sudo yum install -y mongodb-org-3.0.13 mongodb-org-server-3.0.13 mongodb-org-shell-3.0.13 mongodb-org-mongos-3.0.13 mongodb-org-tools-3.0.13

3) Disable SELinux

Disable SELinux by setting the SELINUX setting to disabled in /etc/selinux/config.

SELINUX=disabled

You must rebbot the system for the changes to take effect.

4) Check mongod Services

#service mongod status

#service mongod start

#chkconfig mongod on

5) MongoDb logs

You can follow the state of the process for errors or important messages by watching the output in the /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log file.

# tail -f /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

If service has been started then mongodb has been installed properly else you may check mongodb error log here and troubleshoot the issue.
