Run MongoDB Community Edition
Most Unix-like operating systems limit the system resources that a session may use. These limits may negatively impact MongoDB operation. See UNIX ulimit Settings for more information.
The MongoDB instance stores its data files in /var/lib/mongodb and its log files in /var/log/mongodbby default, and runs using the mongodb user account. You can specify>/etc/mongod.conf. See systemLog.path and storage.dbPath for additional information.
If you change the user that runs the MongoDB process, you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongodb and /var/log/mongodb directories to give this user access to these directories.
1 Start MongoDB. Issue the following command to start mongod:
sudo service mongod start
2 Verify that MongoDB has started successfully Verify that the mongod process has started successfully by checking the contents of the log file at/var/log/mongodb/mongod.log for a line reading
