Installing

• Official install guide I followed: Install MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu — MongoDB Manual
• It fails to start with systemctl, but sudo mongod works, same as mongosh
  • which worked after I manually created a /data/db folder

Getting started

Importing:

> mongoimport --db papers --collection mag --file mag_papers_0_part.txt
