  • If you get error libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory try to download the binaries
    • https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/releases/download/v1.43.4/mongodb-compass-1.43.4-linux-x64.tar.gz
      • Then move it to your desired location sudo cp -r '/home/userName/Downloads/tmp/MongoDB Compass-linux-x64' '/opt/MongoDB Compass-linux-x64' and execute it with the --no-sandbox flag '/opt/MongoDB Compass-linux-x64/MongoDB Compass' --no-sandbox . The problem is that mongodb-compass is build with electron which is using chromium inside which is using its own sandbox which is for whatever reason not working. I guess for a solid fix you would have to create correct permissions.
