I need to install MongoDB community edition on an Amazon Linux machine.

I followed the steps described in the MongoDB documentation that are, very simply:

  1. Create the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d
  2. Intall via sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

However, I get a dependency error that I cannot go past. Here's the output:

sh-4.2$ sudo yum install -y mongodb-org

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

In addition, when I run yum whatprovides */libc.so.6, I understand that that file is already installed on the machine:

Hence, what should I do to overcome this obstacle?

  • Try doing a yum -y update first. Commented Jan 10, 2020 at 11:24

    The glibc version not match, you have 2.17 but the package you are installing requires 2.18. Seems that you setup a mongodb repository for Amazon Linux 2 but you have an Amazon Linux 1. Commented Jan 10, 2020 at 12:41

This is because you are using Amazon Linux 1 -- i.e. Amazon Linux (2013.03+) which supports up to GLIBC_2.17. For GLIBC_2.18, use Amazon Linux 2 AMI and configure repo for installing mongo. Configure the proper repo and reinstall the package. Below are the link for both: https://docs.mongodb.com/v4.0/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-amazon/
