You must have 3.2 to be able to upgrade to 3.4. This example assumes you are using apt
.
sudo service mongod stop
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo service mongod start
Ensure the new version is running with mongo
. The shell will print out the MongoDB server version that should be 3.4 now.
