Thank you! For ubuntu 20 this worked perfectly well for me: wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add - && echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mongodb-org-shell

Use official MongoDB Documents they already mentioned how to install a version of your choice. Steps for installation for Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04

For Ubuntu 16.04 use this

NOTE:- Before that beware that you don't have any existing repository file for MongoDB. You can check using sudo apt-get update.While updating it will show if you have any. If you have then delete it using sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb*.list and then install MongoDB

One could install a mongodb shell on Ubuntu by following these instructions or by using an Ansible like Ansible Galaxy.

At the time of writing, this ansible role installed version 4.2.5 of the mongo shell:

user@some-host:~/some-dir$ mongo --version
MongoDB shell version v4.2.5
git version: x
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL y
allocator: z
modules: none
build environment:
    distmod: ubuntu1804
    distarch: x86_64
    target_arch: x86_64
