Before you can download the packages, you must verify them using MongoDB's public GPG key. Open your terminal and run:
(Note: Replace 7.0 with the latest stable version found on the official MongoDB download page ). Step 2: Create a List File for MongoDB
: Newer Kali versions may use libssl3 . If MongoDB fails to start due to a missing dependency, you may need to manually download the libssl1.1 .deb package from the Debian security archives.
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian bookworm/mongodb-org/7.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list Use code with caution. Step 3: Download and Install Packages
Kali Linux is closest to the "Bookworm" or "Buster" releases. Use the following command to add the repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory:
To download and install , you must use the official Debian-compatible repositories, as Kali is based on the Debian testing branch . Since Kali does not include the full MongoDB server in its default repositories by default, you need to manually import the MongoDB GPG key and add their server list to your system. Step 1: Download and Import the MongoDB GPG Key
Update your local package database to recognize the new MongoDB repository and then install the full MongoDB stack: sudo apt-get update Install MongoDB: sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org Step 4: Manage the MongoDB Service
wget -qO - https://mongodb.org | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg Use code with caution.
If you only need to interact with remote databases (like dumping or restoring data), Kali provides a native package called mongo-tools . You can download this directly from the Kali repositories without adding external sources: sudo apt update && sudo apt install mongo-tools Use code with caution. Troubleshooting Common Issues
