echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

Then Start Mondgo DB Service

(should automatically started)

Check if it has executed correctly

vim /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

it could take a while .. mongo preallocates 3.0gb so wait for message like:

2014-05-24T03:12:17.599+0000 [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017

To Run a client of mongodb and see current DBs

$ mongo
> show dbs
