Get MongoDB

Or the apt repo based tutorial here for Ubuntu: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

MongoDB should match the python pymongo where possible to avoid version mismatch problems.

Take note about updating the mongod.conf file to a non-local host IP if doing db replication.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

What's this about?

I am a lifetime Windows user and (like many people) I am used to organising important files on Windows machines by starting the file name with _ (underscore).
