  1. Challenge

    Install MongoDB version 4.0

    1. Add the YUM repository for the repo as sudo:

      sudo su
      
      cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.0.repo
      [mongodb-org-4.0] 
      name=MongoDB Repository 
      baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/7/mongodb-org/4.0/x86_64/ 
      gpgcheck=1 
      enabled=1 
      gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc 
      EOF
      
    2. Install and start MongoDB:

      yum install -y mongodb-org
      
      service mongod start
      
  2. Challenge

    Insert the test data located in /home/cloud_user/data/cities.csv

    1. As the regular user, run the mongoimport command:

      mongoimport -d cities -c cityinfo --type CSV --file '/home/cloud_user/data/cities.csv' --headerline
      
  3. Challenge

    Validate that the data has the required entries

    1. This is done from the mongo shell:

      mongo
      
      use cities
      
      db.cityinfo.find({State:"GA"})
      

      This should return four records.

    2. Exit the mongo shell.

    3. Exit the server.
