Prerequisites
If you are connecting to a cloud-based or remote installation of MongoDB, you do not need to install MongoDB locally. Move on to Install Studio 3T for Linux.
If you want to configure a local installation of MongoDB, install the latest MongoDB community edition on your Linux system. MongoDB provides various packages for popular Linux distributions. View the full list here.
Installing Studio 3T for Linux
Studio 3T for Linux is available for 64-bit Linux systems. It is available as a gzipped tarball (.tar.gz). You can unpack the file at the command line. Alternatively, you can use system utilities such as Archive Manager.
The tarball contains a runnable .sh file that launches the installer for Studio 3T. Using this, you can install Studio 3T to your preferred location. It will automatically create a desktop shortcut to launch Studio 3T.
To install from the command line:
- Open a terminal and shell.
- Go to the directory, where the gzipped tarball (.tar.gz) was downloaded.
$ cd Downloads
- Unpack the file.
$ tar -xvzf studio-3t-linux-x64.tar.gz
- Run the Studio 3T installer.
$ ./studio-3t-linux-x64.sh
- Now follow the prompts in the GUI to complete the installation.
Now that you’re done with installation, read the Getting Started with Studio 3T guide to navigate the tool like a pro in no time.
