[SOLVED] Unable to install MongoDB 7.0 on Ubuntu 22.04

Issue

I'm following the official guide to install MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu.

After executing the commands step by step:

(1) Import the public key used by the package management system.

From a terminal, install gnupg and curl if they are not already available:

sudo apt-get install gnupg curl

To import the MongoDB public GPG key from https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc, run the following command:

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc | \
    sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \
    --dearmor

(2) Create a list file for MongoDB

Create the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list file for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy):

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.com/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

(3) Reload local package database

Issue the following command to reload the local package database:

sudo apt-get update

I'm getting the following error:

E: The repository 'https://repo.mongodb.com/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Solution

The list file URL https://repo.mongodb.com/apt/ubuntu is invalid. It contains only the mongodb-enterprise packages. You need to use https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu to get the mongodb-org community edition package.

Here is the corrected command for step (2) Create a list file for MongoDB:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list
