I need MongoDB to install on Arch Linux. It needs 180+GB free space for installation. However, I have 99GB partition where Arch Linux is installed and 107GB partition free. Can I installed MongoDB by ignoring all? Please suggest me how to get MongoDB

You're likely building the mongodb package from AUR, which requires creating a source checkout and storing all the build artefacts, so yes, it tends to get rather big.

Instead, you might consider using the mongodb-bin package, which uses the prebuilt binaries from the MongoDB repository for Ubuntu. In total, that should require on the order of a few hundred megabytes instead of several gigabytes.

  • sir, how can I check to download size of AUR file before download it – any thing you like Apr 02 '20 at 10:10
  • You can't, since they are downloaded on demand and may generate artefacts as they are built or packaged. You can only infer it by reading the PKGBUILD, sources, and documentation. – Chris Down Apr 02 '20 at 10:11
  • After installation mongodb-bin only, I am not able to start it I give the command **mongo** and it gives the error message """"MongoDB shell version v4.2.5 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb 2020-04-02T17:12:19.801-0400 E QUERY [js] Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed: SocketException: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1:27017 :: caused by :: Connection refused : connect@src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:341:17"""" – any thing you like Apr 02 '20 at 11:40
  • Sorry, but MongoDB-specific debugging questions are not on-topic here -- please feel free to ask them in a MongoDB-specific forum. :-) – Chris Down Apr 02 '20 at 11:45
