Unable to install MongoDB on LEAP 42.2 (AArch64)

Good morning!

I’m playing with my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B version 2 with openSUSE LEAP 42.2 version (AArch64) in order to install an updated MongoDB version.

The problem is that I’m following the official walkthrough from MongoDB (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-suse/), but I’m unable to install MongoDB 3.4 version.

Once added the repo, when I’m trying to execute “zypper -n install mongodb-org” zypper returns that the package doesn’t exist. So, to confirm that, I ran “zypper search mongo” and zypper was right, there’s no mongodb packages even after adding the repo. I tried to repeat the process removing the repo first, but same result. I’m running out of ideas, what’s up with zypper or with the MongoDB repo? Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks for your attention and, of course, for your time.

Happy Sunday!

Hi
Because it’s not built for aarch64 only x86_64 (SLE 12). Same for
openSUSE Leap 42.2 only x86_64 in the server:database repo (still at
version 3.2.11)

It’s built for SLE 12 SP2 in aarch64;
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=server%3Adatabase&package=mongodb

Ask the repo maintainers if they can build for the aarch64 target, ask
the MongoDB folks to built for aarch64?

Ok, got it! Looking at the official URL from the MongoDB Team you’re absolutely right, there’s no AArch64 folder.

I’ll ask the mongodb repo maintainers in OpenSUSE to see whether is possible to have the 3.4 version instead of the 3.2 one.

Thank you very much again malcolmlewis.
