$ sudo yum reinstall -y mongodb-org
Step 1: Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-4.4.repo file so that you can install MongoDB directly using yum:
[mongodb-org-4.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/$releasever/mongodb-org/4.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc
Step 2: install with yum
$ sudo yum install -y mongodb-org
Step 3: However yum upgrades the packages when a newer version becomes available. To prevent unintended upgrades, pin the package. To pin a package, add the following exclude directive to your /etc/yum.conf file:
exclude=mongodb-org,mongodb-org-server,mongodb-org-shell,mongodb-org-mongos,mongodb-org-tools
Step 4: start mongo server
$ sudo service mongod start
Step 5: relevant files
/var/lib/mongo (the data directory)
/var/log/mongodb (the log directory)
