 Description   

----------------------------

Original Description

The page that documents installation of MongoDB Community on Linux https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-linux/ should be updated to explain the new dependency on the libcurl runtime libraries that are now required by the community tarballs in 4.0 due to the inclusion of free monitoring.

Note that:

We could probably just take the copy from the enterprise tarball installation, strip out references to everything that isn't libcurl related, and add that to the community page.

To build out the potential solution here:

  1. Copy the dependency section from the Enterprise Install From Linux Tarball page to a scratch pad
  2. Copy the given subsection of that to the relevant distro specific community tarball installation page
  3. And trim down the dependency list removing the packages not specifically related to SSL and curl (using RHEL as the guiding example):
    • RHEL6:

      yum install libcurl openssl

    • RHEL7:

      yum install libcurl openssl

Make sense? MarkB and I both LGTM'd the specifics noted above.
