I am currently using Fedora 32 on my machine, and ran into a bunch of issues and errors trying to get MongoDB installed on my machine.

So this is the solution I figured could help you save a lot of time.

All below commands are to fired on terminal.

Step 1: Update Your System

Best to use an update system

sudo dnf update

Step 2: Add mongo-db repositories

Add MongoDB 4 repositories to the system

This command is to be fired as a single command (in a single ⏎ enter)

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb.repo
[mongodb-4.2]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/7/mongodb-org/4.2/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.2.asc
EOF

Step 3: Install MongoDB on the machine

Install MongoDB on Fedora 32/31/30/29/28

sudo dnf -y install mongodb-org

Step 4: Check if mongo is successfully installed

mongo -version

If mongo is successfully installed on your system the above command must return following result.

MongoDB shell version v4.2.7
git version: 51d9fe12b5d19720e72dcd7db0f2f17dd9a19212
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
allocator: tcmalloc
modules: none
build environment:
    distmod: rhel70
    distarch: x86_64
    target_arch: x86_64

Congrats! MongoDB is now ready to use on your local system.

Thank You!
