Follow these simple steps.

  • Download the robomongo: https://robomongo.org/download
  • Extract the .tar.gz downloaded from above
  • Change directory to extracted folder.
  • You'll find a bin folder. Go in there, then double click on robomongo.

Anytime you'll wanna run robomongo, you will have to do something like this from terminal:

/path/to/robomongo_dir/bin/robomongo

You might wanna add a link to robomongo from your /usr/bin which will allow you to do something like this anywhere from terminal:

for that

  • navigate to robomongo_dir/bin
  • right click on robomongo executable file and click on Make Link, Link to robomongo executable file will be created there
  • rename Link to robomongo to your wish ( let say robo_)

  • move this link to /usr/bin directory with below command on terminal

    sudo mv /robomongo_dir/bin/robo_ /usr/bin

Now you can run robomongo from terminal OR from run command (Alt+ F2) by typing robo_
