I am trying to test MongoDB and I have it all downloaded and moved into the root folder. I can navigate to the folder that holds the mongod, but when I try to run it by typing "mongod" into my terminal, I get a message that says:
"mongod: command not found"

mongod is a background process used by MongoDB. The main purpose of mongod is to manage all the MongoDB server tasks. For instance, accepting requests, responding to client, and memory management. mongo is a command line shell that can interact with the client (for example, system administrators and developers).
“how to check if mongodb is installed” Code Answer'sOpen the command prompt and type "cd c:\program files\mongodb\server\your version\bin". After you enter the bin folder type "mongo start". If you get either a successful connection or failed one it means it's installed at least.
To correct this issue, you can delete the file sudo rm /tmp/mongodb-27017. lock and then start the mongod process once more, which will recreate the file. It says rm: /tmp/mongodb-27017.
Both answers above are correct. You can either specify the path in one of the following files: .profile, .bashrc, or .bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin" then call the daemon or the shell directly
mongod mongo Or for the commands not in the $PATH, use ./mongo or ./mongod from the directory containing these files. This solution can be verbose has you will have to eventually append the whole path when calling these commands from another directory.
/usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod or /usr/local/mongodb/bin$ ./mongod If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
