I followed steps from this article: How to get MongoDB Server on Fedora - Fedora Magazine

However, I am getting this error:
I am trying to install version 6.0

Edit: I have just tried to install version 4.4, it’s ok but I want to install the latest version.

dnf install mongodb-org

How can I install the latest version of MongoDB on Fedora 38?

See https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-58870

MongoDB is not provided by Fedora (license issue) and MongoDB does not build/provide packages for Fedora. Installing a RHEL 8 package may or may not work. The issue here is that platform-python was dropped in Fedora 30.

You can try to install from the rpm directly without satisfying all dependencies, but I would try this in virtual machine or toolbox first.

rpm -i https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/9/mongodb-org/6.0/x86_64/RPMS/mongodb-org-server-6.0.8-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

I would recommend running Mongo in a docker or podman container, totally independent of your base os, see https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo, https://www.tutorialworks.com/podman-systemd/, Running MongoDB with Podman, and Setting up mongod using podman · GitHub
