Installing from Percona repositories
================================================================================

It is recommended to install |PSMDB| from official Percona repositories using
the |percona-release| utility.

Configure Percona repository
----------------------------

|tip.run-all.root|

1. Fetch |percona-release| packages from Percona web:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb

#. Install the downloaded package with :program:`dpkg`:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ sudo dpkg -i percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb

   Once you install ``percona-release``, the |Percona| repositories should be available. You
   can check the repository setup in the
   :file:`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona-release.list` file.


#. Enable the repository: 
   
   .. code-block:: bash
   
      $ sudo percona-release enable psmdb-50 release

#. Remember to update the local cache: 
   
   .. code-block:: bash

      $ sudo apt update
   
Install the latest version 
--------------------------------------------------------------

Run the following command to install the latest version of |PSMDB|: 

.. code-block:: bash

   $ sudo apt install percona-server-mongodb

Install a specific version
--------------------------------------------------------------

To install a specific version of |PSMDB|, do the following:

1. List available versions:
 
   .. code-block:: bash
   
      $ sudo apt-cache madison percona-server-mongodb

   .. admonition:: Sample Output

      .. include:: ../.res/text/apt-versions-list.txt

2. Install a specific version packages. You must specify each package with the version number. For example, to install |PSMDB| 5.0.2-1, run the following command:
   
   .. code-block:: bash
   
      $ sudo apt install percona-server-mongodb=5.0.2-1.buster percona-server-mongodb-mongos=5.0.2-1.buster percona-server-mongodb-shell=5.0.2-1.buster percona-server-mongodb-server=5.0.2-1.buster percona-server-mongodb-tools=5.0.2-1.buster

Running Percona Server for MongoDB

By default, |PSMDB| stores data files in :file:`/var/lib/mongodb/`
and configuration parameters in :file:`/etc/mongod.conf`.
