Install MongoDB 7.0

Note. MongoDB v4.4.19 and later will not run on CPUs that do not support AVX instruction. In this case, it is necessary to downgrade it to v4.4.18. For reference, I wrote the steps to install v4.4.18 on Ubuntu 20.04 on Raspberry Pi 4B here.

# apt update
# apt install gnupg wget
# wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/mongodb-7.gpg
# echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list
# apt update
# apt install -y mongodb-org

# systemctl enable mongod
# systemctl start mongod

Install free5GC WebUI

It is assumed that MongoDB 7.0 and Go has been installed already.

First, install Yarn.

# apt install wget
# wget -qO - https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/yarn.gpg
# echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
# apt update
# apt install -y yarn

Next, install Node.js, see here.

# apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
# mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
# curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
# echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_20.x nodistro main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
# apt update
# apt install -y nodejs

Then, install free5GC WebUI.

# git clone --recursive -j `nproc` https://github.com/free5gc/free5gc.git
# cd free5gc/webconsole
# git checkout main
# cd ..
# make webconsole

Run the WebUI.

# cd webconsole
# bin/webconsole
