For detail information about building, please see the manual.
If you want to build everything (mongod, mongo, tools, etc):
$ scons all
If you only want to build the database:
$ scons
To install
$ scons --prefix=/opt/mongo install
Please note that prebuilt binaries are available on mongodb.org and may be the easiest way to get started.
- mongod
- mongos
- mongo
- mongoclient
- all
Mongo has been tested with GCC 4.x and Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. Older versions of GCC may not be happy.
See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/buildingforwindows
Build requirements:
- vc++ express or visual studio
- python 2.5 (for scons - 2.6 might be needed for some regression tests)
- scons
- boost 1.35 (or higher)
Or download a prebuilt binary for Windows at www.mongodb.org.
To install dependencies on Ubuntu systems:
# aptitude install scons build-essential
# aptitude install libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev
To run tests as well, you will need PyMongo:
# aptitude install python-pymongo
Then build as usual with scons:
$ scons all
Try Homebrew:
$ brew install mongodb
Install the following ports:
- devel/boost
- devel/libexecinfo
- devel/pcre
