see section 1.2 on above tutorial. Also how to find my system is 32bit or 64bit and what repo to add.

Here is my uname -a Linux vps.server.com 2.6.32 #1 SMP Thu Sep 22 13:24:07 MSD 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Answer 1

Open shell:

type in

sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/10gen-mongodb.repo

An empty gedit window will open, there you have to paste

[10gen]
name=10gen Repository
baseurl=http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/redhat/os/i686
gpgcheck=0

then save and you are done.
