I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of MongoDB in version 3.4 on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64, delivered via a Software Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo Special Interest Group (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).
QuickStart ---------- You can get started in three easy steps:
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl $ sudo yum install rh-mongodb34 $ scl enable rh-mongodb34 bash
At this point you should be able to use MongoDB just as a normal application. Some examples of usage follows:
$ service rh-mongodb34-mongod start $ mongo
In order to view the individual components included in this collection, including additional subpackages, you can run:
$ sudo yum list rh-mongodb34*
This collections is CentOS-based rebuild built by SCLo SIG community, and the packages have been available in Red Hat Software Collections 3.0 for RHEL:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_software_collections/3...
So, for RHEL-based builds, follow the steps in the documentation above.
About Software Collections -------------------------- Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.
The SCLo SIG in CentOS ---------------------- The Software Collections SIG group is an open community group co-ordinating the development of the SCL technology, and helping curate a reference set of collections. In addition to the collection NodeJS being released here, we also build and deliver databases, web servers, and language stacks including multiple versions of PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Apache HTTP Server, Python, Ruby, Ruby on Rails and others.

Enjoy!
