This is my first comment, so my apologies if this isn't correct?

Running this failed at apt-get install mongodb-org - a response was requested? I continued along, copying and pasting the rest with sudo. At line 26, access was not allowed to rc.local, so I inserted the lines - only the parts between apostrophes - into the file prior to the exit 0 line. The installation seems to be running fine.

I obviously have no idea what I'm doing - my apologies if this is in bad form. I'll be happy to delete this comment. Thanks!
