Description

User feedback from a long forum discussion on Install MongoDB via Cpanel:

I executed a yum install. Since it didn’t work, I included these files under the “excluded” section. Consequently, future invocations to install Mongodb didn’t work. :wink:

I think that documentation should warm to future users to avoid writing these names under the excluded section.

The confusion came from our mention of excluding packages at the end of Step 2: Install the MongoDB packages. That info should be highlighted in a note/aside rather than appearing to be a part of the standard install steps.
