As someone use to using a x64 Win8 OS I am completely lost on how I am suppose to bypass the permission denial that won't allow me to touch 10gen.repo or sudo yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server. Can someone please respond with a ELI5 format?

Answer 1

You need to create the repository file with sudo as well.

Try this:

$ echo "[MongoDB]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/x86_64
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/10gen.repo

$ sudo yum update

And then:

sudo yum install mongo-10gen mongo-10gen-server

Hope it helps
