Answer 1

Configure the package management system (YUM).

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo file to hold the following configuration information for the MongoDB repository:

If you are running a 64-bit system, use the following configuration:

[mongodb] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 

If you are running a 32-bit system, which is not recommended for production deployments, use the following configuration:

[mongodb] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/i686/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 

When you install the packages, you choose whether to install the current release or a previous one. This step provides the commands for both.

To install the latest stable version of MongoDB, issue the following command:

sudo yum install mongodb-org 

To install a specific release of MongoDB, specify each component package individually and append the version number to the package name, as in the following example that installs the 2.6.1` release of MongoDB:

yum install mongodb-org-2.6.1 mongodb-org-server-2.6.1 mongodb-org-shell-2.6.1 mongodb-org-mongos-2.6.1 mongodb-org-tools-2.6.1 

For reference if still stucked with that i found this link,this might be helpful

Answer 2

From the documentation site:

/etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo

[mongodb] name=MongoDB Repository baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1

Then

yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server

Answer 3

I was able to install using their instructions. You could try disabling the priorities plugin. Set enable = 0.

vim /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf enable = 0 

Then yum update and then try installing mongodb again.

Answer 4

Your repository configuration seems to be correct, but why are you trying to install mongodb-org? Try installing mongo-10gen-server, that's the package you need.
