Can I install MongoDB on cPanel?

Question

How can I install MongoDB on cPanel to utilize alongside my web applications?

Answer

At this time, the cPanel Software supports the installation and usage of MySQL and MariaDB. For reference on which versions of these databases cPanel supports, the below documentation goes into this in detail:

Because MongoDB is not directly supported by the cPanel Software, manual installation and configuration would be required to make use of this database. It's worth noting that cPanel Support is very limited on the amount of assistance they can provide during this process.

To get started, the server must enable the MongoDB yum repositories in order to have this installed. Installation instructions and configuration can be found from MongoDB's official documentation:
