I have already installed Mongodb on my mac but the process is currently not running. How do I start the Mongodb service so that I can start using the commands?

To start MongoDB, run mongod.exe from the Command Prompt navigate to your MongoDB Bin folder and run mongod command, it will start MongoDB main process and The waiting for connections message in the console.
To open up the MongoDB shell, run the mongo command from your server prompt. By default, the mongo command opens a shell connected to a locally-installed MongoDB instance running on port 27017 . Try running the mongo command with no additional parameters: mongo.
If you used homebrew to install MongoDB on macOS you type the following in terminal. Should do the trick in most cases.
$ brew services start mongodb Try the following steps in Terminal:
which mongod This will output the path to your mongod, but if it is not in your $PATH the command output will be empty. So you need to find your executable:
find / -name 'mongod' In the output of this command, you will see many lines, one of which will be like bin/mongod, e.g. /usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod. In that case take the whole absolute path and do the following:
echo "PATH=/usr/local/mongodb/bin/:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile . ~/.bash_profile Then try again:
mongod --dbpath /your/path If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
