#MongoDB config file systemLog : destination : file # Mongo DB's output will be logged here. For the purposes of this guide though, we will assume you’ve downloaded MongoDB manually. However, for security, you may need to use a later patch version for 4.2.12 if 4.2.12 has any security issues that might affect you. For maximum compatibility with Deadline, we recommend you use MongoDB version 3.6.21 through 4.2.12.

If you’re installing the MongoDB database on a machine running Linux or Mac OS X, you also have the option to download and install MongoDB through their associated package manager such as yum, apt, or homebrew.
More information on these advanced topics can be found at the bottom of this guide. Manually installing the MongoDB database might also be preferable for some because it gives you greater control over things like authentication, and allows you to create sharded clusters or replica sets for backup. If an internet connection isn’t available, or the current operating system you are using isn’t supported, you can follow this guide to install the Database manually. In addition, only specific operating systems are supported.
Note that it is possible for the Deadline Repository Installer to automatically download and install the database, but an internet connection is required. This guide will cover the basic steps required for you to manually download and install the MongoDB Database.
