What is your question?

Is it possible to pass the MongoDB version for download without modifying the package.json? as stated here #316
Our CircleCI tests access a non-existent path https://fastdl.mongodb.org/linux/mongodb-linux-x86_64-debian10-4.0.16.tgz and cannot download the .tgz

We use https://github.com/mikhail-angelov/mongo-unit which uses your mongodb-memory-server and we would not like to use forks because they may contain build errors. The solution of transferring the desired link/version to MongoDB via env would be the best of all.

yes with environment variables, just prefix any config option at Config Options with MONGOMS_ as explained here

in your case you may want to overwrite the full download url, so use Config Options DOWNLOAD_URL like MONGOMS_DOWNLOAD_URL=https://your.com/path/to/the/archive.tgz

PS: you may want to upgrade the MMS version if possible, it is known that 4.0.16 is not existing for all platforms anymore, and later versions use higher versions already, as can be read here
