Differences of MongoDB Installation Methods on Linux

+1 vote
546 views

I am new to MongoDB and try to install MongoDB 3.2.9 on Ubuntu 14.01 LTS. I found there are different ways to install it as below:
1. The MongoDB official guidance use the apt-get install.
2. Download the package and create folders like bin, data, log, conf etc. and then manually and copy the corresponding modules to the bin when needed.

I am wondering which method should I use. Seems the second one is more flexible as its hard to make sense what the first one has done to the OS.

Could you advise any other impact and differences about the two methods for installation? Thanks in advance!

Use method 1 i.e. apt-get for the installation if you are not the expert in MongoDB and Linux. I would say that method 2 is only for experts.

Clone a master installation on ubuntu?

I'd like to install a master on a virtual machine and rsync this installation to ten clients (desktop installation for a library). Also, all changes after the initial installation to this master image should be replicated to them.

There are some modifications for the master installation necessary. It must not use UUIDs for example.

Is there a ready-to-use script for this scenario?

Thank you in advance.
