Installing MongoDB via Homebrew

To install MongoDB in macOS from Homebrew, follow these steps:

With Homebrew, we just need a single command to install MongoDB:

$ brew install mongodb

Create a directory that will be used by Mongo to save data:

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db

Start the Mongo server:

$ ~/mongodb/bin/mongod

Hence, MongoDB is finally installed.

Installing MongoDB on Linux

There are two ways to install MongoDB on Linux as well: we can either use the apt-get

command or we can download the tarball and extract it.

Installing MongoDB using apt-get

To install MongoDB using apt-get, perform the following steps:

Run the following command to install the latest version of MongoDB:

$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

Verify if mongod has been successfully installed by running the command:

$ cd /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

To start the mongod process, execute the following command in the Terminal:

$ sudo service mongod start

See if the log file has a line that denotes that the MongoDB connection was made
successfully:

$ [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port <port>
