To be complete  a short introduction for  shell noobs    First of all  start your shell - you can find it inside the common desktop environments under the name  Terminal  or  Shell  somewhere in the desktops application menu    You can also try using the key combo CTRL F2  followed by one of those commands  depending on the desktop envrionment you re using  and the ENTER key   xfce4-terminal gnome-console terminal rxvt konsole   If all of the above fail  try using xterm - it ll work in most cases   Hint for the following commands  Execute the commands without the   - it s just a marker identifying that you re on the shell   After that just fire up mongod with the --version flag     mongod --version   It shows you then something like    mongod --version db version v2 4 6 Wed Oct 16 16 17 00 241 git version  nogitversion   To update it just execute     sudo apt-get update   and then    sudo apt-get install mongodb
