10 10  * The reason MongoDB 2.4 is installed under Raspian, seems to be because later versions of MongoDB are 64 bit and Raspian is 32 bit.  You would need to install a 64 bit version of Linux, such as [[Ubuntu>>https://pimylifeup.com/ubuntu-server-raspberry-pi/]], onto your Raspberry Pi and then you can follow the instructions above.
11 11  ** You can't install a 64 bit Ubuntu onto a Raspberry PI Zero or Zero W, because it requires ARMv7 processor and the Zero series is based on ARMv6.
