# Installing MongoDB in Cpanel (VPS/Cloud)

This article applies for all Linux VPS & Linux Cloud clients.

Installing **MongoDB** is an easy and short process, but you will need to create the Mongo databases from shell (ssh/putty) and administer them from there as well (VPS or Cloud). 

To do that, please follow the steps below:

1. Install the MongoDB repo:

`cd /etc/yum.repos.d`

2. Create the **mongodb.repo** file:

`nano -w mongodb.repo`

3. Paste this code inside:

`[mongodb] 
name=MongoDB Repo 
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86\_64/ 
gpgcheck=0 
enabled=1`

4. Install MongoDB using **Yum**:

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

PS: At this point, you should have MongoDB installed on your CentOS + cPanel box.

5. Configure MongoDB to automatically start after reboot:

`chkconfig mongod on`

6. Start MongoDB:

`service mongod start`

7. Use the powerful **PECL** command to install your **MongoDB PHP extension**:

`pecl install mongo`

8. **Restart Apache** to apply changes:

`service httpd restart`

9. Verify installation with this command:

`php -i | grep mongo -i`

* If you see the **MongoDB extension** in the output, then you are all set!
