Add new PPA and install Mongo 4.4.
wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
You'll get the same error from before. This is caused by mongodb-org package trying to use systemctl to start the DB after install (source). Notice that the same error is thrown when running the command manually.

However, running mongod should still work!
If you run into errors when running mongod, you might need to modify some permissions and create a data directory. I found the answer to these issues here, here, and here.
sudo chown $USER /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
sudo chown -R $USER /data/db
The problem is that the directory you created, /data/db is owned by and only writable by the root user, but you are running mongod as yourself. There are several ways to resolve this, but ultimately, you must give the directory in question the right permissions. If this is for production, I would advise you to check the docs and think this over carefully -- you probably want to take special care.
However, if this is just for testing and you just need this to work and get on with it, you could try this, which will make the directory writable by everyone:
> sudo chmod -R go+w /data/db
or this, which will make the directory owned by you:
> sudo chown -R $USER /data/db
You need to create this directory as root
Either you need to use sudo , e.g. sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Or you need to do su - to become superuser, and then create the directory with mkdir -p /data/db
or you can simply set the permissions of the .sock file to the current user:
sudo chown `whoami` /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
