 Description   

The current (v3.4) installation manual for MongoDB on Ubuntu:

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

Is missing a step to create systemd file for Ubuntu 16.04, as listed on MongoDB v3.2 manual.

https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/#ubuntu-16-04-only-create-systemd-service-file

This step is necessary in Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial to be performed before users be able to use `service mongod`.

andrew.aldridge, thanks for the clarification.
Turned out there was some configuration issue with my ubuntu16.04 `systemd`.
Tried on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, and the instruction manual works.

wan.bachtiar I can't reproduce this issue. Our packages are correctly installing the systemd service file on Ubuntu 16.04.

Can you provide a complete shell session displaying the problem?

Comment by Andrew Aldridge [ 02/Feb/17 ]

The 3.2 instructions were a temporary workaround until the packages were updated to contain the systemd service file. I'll check the packages tomorrow, but if they aren't installing the service file, it's a BUILD issue.

andrew.aldridge for you to groom!
