Install MongoDB on rPI
I’m proud user of Raspberry PI. I had been waiting for it about 5 months but at last I got it. If you don’t know what Raspberry Pi is I can recommend this video. Leader of this project will tell you why and how it was build. I haven’t got time to play with it before, but for me it’s really amazing that for only $35 I got working machine that supports HD films. I spent some time testing it and it works just great. Maybe it’s not so fast and require rather patient user but IMO it’s great chance for popularize free and open software, and show that programming could be fun. From geeks perspectives rPI is just cheep computer that they can hack without spending money on it. And as you probably see rPi is used everywhere.
Here are steps to install MongoDB on device
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential scons libpcre++-dev xulrunner-dev libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-filesystem-dev
git clone https://github.com/skrabban/mongo-nonx86 --depth 1
cd mongo-nonx86/
scons &
sudo scons --prefix=<where/you/want/install/it> install &
sudo mkdir /data/db -p
sudo <where/you/want/installed/it>/mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb.log
Compiling process could take couple hours so it might be reasonable to run scons in
using nohup or detach session with screen.
To check if it’s running call tail -f /var/log/mongodb.log. You should see
similar line
