In other words, Robomongo acts as a client for the MongoDB server, enabling users to access the target server and browse documents stored in a database. The MongoDB server must be running and waiting for connections to set up a new connection in Robomongo. Needless to say, you must be familiar with MongoDB (which is required for the application to work properly) to be able to use Robomongo at its full capability. Robomongo aims to make working with MongoDB databases much easier, providing a user-friendly GUI for managing documents and editing their content without effort. Then you can create an Unity desktop file for your launcher nano ~/.local/share/applications/robo3t.MongoDB management tool that enables you to browse documents in your databases and create new ones, validate JSON documents and edit their content. So first move the directory sudo mv robo3t /optĪnd then symlink it like so sudo ln -s /opt/robo3t/bin/robo3t /usr/bin/robo3t This makes for a better way of organising your applications, and keeping such add-on packages is what /opt is for. Save the image like robo3t.png and move this image to folder robo3t and then, instead of dumping the whole thing in /usr you can transfer this directory to /opt directory and symlink the binary file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.

(For whatever reason, the Robo3T package itself does not contain any png file for the icon) You can rename the folder to something simpler mv robo3t-x.x.x-linux-x86_64-xxxxxxx robo3tĭowload any images with format. You can first extract the package: cd ~/Downloads Mv /tmp/robomongo.txt ~/.local/share/applications/sktop robomongo-0.9.0-linux-x86_64-0786489 /opt/robomongoĮcho "" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Encoding=UTF-8" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Name=Robomongo" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Comment=Launch Robomongo" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Icon=/opt/robomongo/robomongo.png" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Exec=/usr/sbin/robomono" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Terminal=false" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Type=Application" > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "Categories=Developer " > /tmp/robomongo.txtĮcho "StartupNotify=true" > /tmp/robomongo.txt and it's a bit more verbose so it should be understandable to most: # Pull down and install Robomongo by copying files
