MongoDB 6.0 can be installed on Debian 12.11 by preparing the system, adding the official repository, and configuring the service to run automatically. These steps ensure a stable and secure database environment.
Step 1: Update System Packages
Synchronize your package lists to ensure the latest versions of software are available for installation.

Step 2: Import MongoDB Public GPG Key
MongoDB packages are signed with a GPG key. Importing the key allows your system to verify package authenticity.

Step 4: Reload Package Database
Update your package lists again to include MongoDB packages from the newly added repository.
sudo apt update
Step 5: Install MongoDB Packages
Install the latest stable MongoDB server and tools available in the repository.
sudo apt install -y mongodb-org
Step 6: Start and Enable MongoDB Service
Start the MongoDB service immediately and configure it to launch automatically after system reboot.
sudo systemctl start mongod sudo systemctl enable mongod
