Installing MEAN Stack on Ubuntu 22.04

The MEAN stack is a set of JavaScript-based technologies used for developing web applications. It consists of MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js.

Prerequisites

Before installing the MEAN stack, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Ubuntu 22.04 installed on your system
2. Root access or sudo privileges

Step 1: Install MongoDB

To install MongoDB, follow these steps:

1. Update the package list: sudo apt update
2. Install MongoDB: sudo apt install mongodb
3. Start and enable the MongoDB service: sudo systemctl start mongodb and sudo systemctl enable mongodb

Step 2: Install Node.js and npm

To install Node.js and npm, follow these steps:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install node

1. Install Node.js using nvm (Node Version Manager):
2. Verify the installation: node -v and npm -v

Step 3: Install Express.js

To install Express.js, follow these steps:

1. Create a new directory for your project: mkdir myapp
2. Navigate to the directory: cd myapp
3. Initialize a new npm project: npm init -y
4. Install Express.js: npm install express

Step 4: Install AngularJS

To install AngularJS, follow these steps:

1. Install AngularJS using npm: npm install angular

Step 5: Build Your Application

Now you can start building your MEAN stack application using the installed technologies. MongoDB for the database, Express.js for the server, AngularJS for the front-end, and Node.js as the platform.

Explore the documentation and tutorials available for each technology to learn how to use them effectively in your application development.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the MEAN stack on Ubuntu 22.04. Now you can start developing powerful web applications using MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js.
