How to Install MongoDB on Arch Linux

Use MongoDB's pre-built binary. Use AUR package mongodb-bin and possibly mongodb-tools-bin. This skips the entire compilation stage, downloading a pre-built binary from mongodb.org, and packaging it with the necessary configuration files.
yay -S mongodb-bin
If during the installation you get ==> Error: Problem importing keys like this:
==> PGP keys need importing:
 -> 27EDEAF22F3ABCEB50DB9A125CC908FDB71E12C2, required by: libcurl-openssl-1.0
==> Import? [Y/n] y
:: Importing keys with gpg......
gpg: keyserver receive failed: General error
==> Error: Problem importing keys
-> 27EDEAF22F3ABCEB50DB9A125CC908FDB71E12C2
You can solve it by running the following code:
gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 27EDEAF22F3ABCEB50DB9A125CC908FDB71E12C2
sudo pacman -Syy
yay -S mongodb-bin
After installing the package. Start/Enable the mongodb.service daemon.
systemctl enable --now mongodb
systemctl start --now mongodb
Test Connetions
mongo
To quit:
exit

Unable to add gpg key with apt-key behind a proxy
Adding a gpg key via apt-key systematically fails since I've switched to Ubuntu 17.04 (I doubt it's directly related though).  Example with Spotify's repo key:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://
