@ddos what's the problem with the documentation now?

hey @julian
It's the first line, error ...

root@nodebb:~# wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash - echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc)/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list apt-get update apt-get install -y mongodb-org nodejs -y

breaking the one-liner into logical parts like the one below allows me to move past the first stage

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | apt-key add - 

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x \
| bash - echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc)/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
 
apt-get update 
apt-get install -y mongodb-org nodejs -y

We link directly to the official MongoDB docs for a reason. If our abbreviation isn't working or is it of date, go there.

In fact our guide literally says:

The following is an abbreviation of the official MongoDB installation guide for Ubuntu. If you're having issues, fall back to using that guide instead.
