If you want to confirm that you have installed mongoose you can check in the node_modules folder. This is the folder where npm installs everything. There is typically a folder for every package installed. You will find a mongoose directory if you have installed mongoose correctly.
You can find it in the installation directory where you installed MongoDB. By default, it is "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server". Open the installation folder and appropriate version folder and go to the "bin" folder. Here, "mongo.exe" is MongoDB shell.
MongoDB installs as a systemd service, which means that you can manage it using standard systemd commands alongside all other sytem services in Ubuntu. To verify the status of the service, type: sudo systemctl status mongodb.
However, given Mongoose wraps the mongodb native driver and that does not require MongoDB installation, I would expect that you do not need to have it installed when not using localhost.
To check if mongoose module is installed simply find the version by
npm list mongoose
To check globally
npm list -g mongoose
Mongoose is a npm module. Mongodb may or may not be installed.
To check whether mongodb is installed:
which mongo
To install mongodb locally:
brew install mongodb
Then follow the post-installation instructions.
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist
Test your connection to mongodb.
