How to install PyMongo

Question

I am currently trying to install MongoDB driver for Python on my Mac OS X (mavericks).

But when I run

[ Dsl  ~/Documents/python ] sudo easy_install pymongo

I get the following output

Searching for pymongo
Best match: pymongo 2.7
Processing pymongo-2.7-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg
Removing pymongo 2.7rc1 from easy-install.pth file
Adding pymongo 2.7 to easy-install.pth file

Using /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pymongo-2.7-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg
Processing dependencies for pymongo
Finished processing dependencies for pymongo

I try a lot of different commands, but nothing work. How to install pymongo ?

Thanks for your help

Edit: When I try to use it in a python script

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pymongo

client = MongoClient()

I have this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./mongo.py", line 2, in <module>
    import pymongo
ImportError: No module named 'pymongo'

there does not seem to be any error in the install, does it not work? — njzk2, Oct 06 '14 at 14:59
I think fireup a terminal and see if you can import PyMongo package — Sidharth Shah, Oct 06 '14 at 15:00

The script is using python3, but pymongo is installed only in Python2.7 - you need to install it for the correct version of Python you are using. — Burhan Khalid, Oct 06 '14 at 15:10
It's work with Python2.7 but I need to use it with python 3. (I have Python 3.4.1 with the problem No module named 'pymongo') — Anthony, Oct 07 '14 at 08:24

CentOS:

Update using yum

yum -y update

Download the pip using curl:

curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"

Install pip command using python

python get-pip.py

Install pymongo using pip

pip install pymongo

On Ubuntu 18.04,

For this, the version of the pip should be less than or the same as 9.0.1.

First of all, install the pip for python version 3 from-

sudo apt install python3-pip

and check pip version-

pip --version

after that, we have to install build-essential for python-dev

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev

and python setup-tools

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

And finally, we are able to install pymongo by following command-

python -m pip install pymongo

It worked for me, may it will work for you too.

you can use these commands

python -m pip install pymongo

To get a specific version of pymongo:

$ python -m pip install pymongo==3.1.1

To upgrade using pip:

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pymongo

To use easy_install from setuptools do:

$ python -m easy_install pymongo

To upgrade do:

$ python -m easy_install -U pymongo

I think you can download the .egg file here and install with

sudo easy_install //filename

I'm running python 2.7.12 on Rasbian Jesse. After running:

pip install pymongo

The following command reveals that the pymongo module exists under /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/

pip show pymongo

One methods that works is to append the sys path with the location of the pymongo module:

import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/')
import pymongo
