For Mongo Db How To Install MongoDB

This is the general introduction of MongoDB now we learn how to install MongoDB on your macOS.

Here, we will discuss how to install MongoDB using.tgz tarball, so you need to follow each step carefully.

Here, You can select any version, OS, and package according to your requirement.

Like, as shown in the below image.: Here, the bin folder is the most important folder which contains all the MongoDB related executables like mongo for command-line interface to interact with the database, mongod is a database, mongodumps is used for creating a binary export of the contents of a database, etc.

You can set your path in.bashprofile file If you are using Mojave OS or below, or you can set your path in.zprofile file if you are using Catalina or above.

If you do not have.bashprofile or.zprofile, then you can create them using the following two ways.

This file is hidden in your home directory if you wish to see them then press command shift.

Like, as shown in the below image.: Here, Usersankimongodb-macos-x8664-4.2.2bin is the path where the.tgz file is extracted and:PATH allows to run the paths(other than MongoDB) presents in the.bashprofile or.zprofile.

After entering the path in the.bashprofile or.zprofile save that file and then the terminal read the updated path using the source command.

So, to run mongo you need to give them permission manually, i.e, System Preferences Security Privacy Allow Anyway.

After setting up the command-line interface (monog Shell) of MongoDB when you try to start mongo Shell, it will look like as shown in the below image, here the connections are failing because we do not have a database server(i.e, mongod).

To run mongo Shell you need a MongoDB server, i.e, mongod which will run locally on our system.

Or in other words, we will create a data directory in which mongod process will write data.

But those who are using macOS Catalina or above are not allowed to use MongoDB default data directory of datadb because Apple restricted access so, you need to create a different data directory and you are allowed to keep that directory wherever you want in your system.

Or in other words, Catalina users are not able to use datadb as a database folder instead of this you can use a non-root path like datadb.

Here, MongoDB is the data directory where the mongod writes the data.

Like, as shown in the below image: Here, sudo mongod dbpath MongoDB command to start mongod server and MongoDB is data directory.

So, keep that mongod terminal window and open a new terminal window and write mongo and now our mongo shell will successfully connect to the mongod.

Important Point: Please do not close the mongod terminal window if you close this terminal window your server will stop working and you will not connect to the mongo shell.
