In 2018, MongoDB changed its license due to market demand. Fedora believes that this means it is no longer a pure free software (FOSS), so subsequent MongoDB releases are no longer included in official repositories. Until Fedora 30, the MongoDB server was completely removed.
I will not waste a single word judging those two organizations’ decisions; this article is written for people like me who have already wasted a lot of time setting up the environment.
Some of The Wrong Ways
-
Try to install MongoDB for RHEL
Unable to meet dependency needs
-
Install .rpm packages directly
nothing provides /usr/libexec/platform-python needed by …
The failure of these two methods is most likely due to the same reason: python2 is no longer supported since Fedora 30.
The Correct Solution
“My solution was to use MongoDB for Amazon Linux and use copr to satisfy the libcrypto and libssl dependencies.”
