Installing on Linux (DEB) - ODBC Driver for MongoDB

Prerequisites

ODBC Driver for MongoDB works under control of an ODBC driver manager. ODBC driver manager is not distributed along with our driver and must be installed separately.

ODBC Driver for MongoDB is compatible with UnixODBC driver manager. You can install the unixODBC driver manager using the command below:

sudo apt-get install odbcinst1debian2 libodbc1 odbcinst unixodbc

In case when using other ODBC driver managers, ODBC Driver for MongoDB will be installed, but it will require manual modification of configuration files of these managers.

Devart ODBC Driver for MongoDB requires the MongoDB C driver (also known as the libmongoc library) pre-installed. libmongoc is the client library for C applications officially supported by MongoDB. The package contains the libmongoc runtime libraries for applications built with libmongoc.

If you do not have it installed, you need to install it before installing the ODBC Driver for MongoDB.

You can install the package using the commands below.

For Debian base

sudo apt-get install libmongoc-1.0-0

For Redhat base

sudo yum -y install epel-release

sudo yum -y install mongo-c-driver

Installation

Let's consider how to install the Devart ODBC driver on Linux from a DEB package, for example, on Ubuntu. There are two ways to install the driver either manually or via the command line.

GUI installation

Download the DEB package of the required bitness from the Devart website.
Navigate to the folder with the downloaded package ("Downloads" by default) and double-click it.
In the opened dialog, click the Install button.
If the installation is successfully completed, the Install button changes into the Remove one.

Command-line installation

Download the DEB package from the Devart website.
By default the required package will be downloaded into the ~/Downloads folder (or the selected one);
Run the 'Terminal' program;
Navigate to the folder with the downloaded package cd ~/Downloads (if you downloaded the package into another folder, you need to specify the path to this folder as the cd command parameter):
```
cd ~/Downloads/
```
To install the devartodbcmongo_i386.deb on a 32-bit system, use the following command:
```
sudo dpkg -i devartodbcmongo_i386.deb
```
To install the devartodbcmongo_amd64.deb on a 64-bit system, use the following command:
```
sudo dpkg -i devartodbcmongo_amd64.deb
```
Driver is installed successfully.

To activate the driver, perform the steps described in the Product Activation article.
