In this tutorial I am going to talk about how you can install MongoDB on MacOS in an easy way. I have gone through many tutorials online, but I have been really upset with those tutorials. Most of the tutorials are outdated and old. So I decided to create this tutorial in which i can show you a better and easy way to setup MongoDB on MacOS.
Go to your MongoDB folder in OS X: cd /data/db.
- MacOSのCatalinaにMongodbをインストールする方法のメモです。 前提条件 Homebrewがインストールされていること。 インストール方法 以下の手順でMongoDBの起動までできます。.
- Brew tap mongodb/brew Third, install MongoDB. Brew install mongodb-community MongoDB is now installed on your computer. Preparations (Before MacOS Catalina) Before you can use MongoDB, you need to create a /data/db folder on your computer to use MongoDB. You can create this folder with the following command.
Install MongoDB on MacOS using Homebrew
In order to install MongoDB on MacOs, I would suggest using Homebrew.
Please open up the MacOs command line tool and paste the following command to setup MongoDB on MacOS.
Once you entered the given above command, your MacOS terminal will start some process. Those processes are nothing but related to creating some folder in your local machine where all the Homebrew related settings are kept.
After finishing the installation process, check your Homebrew dependencies.
Hit the below commands to install MongoDB
After MongoDB successfully installed in your machine, then create a folder to store MongoDB data using given below command
Use the given below command to assign the proper permission to MongoDB data folder.
We’ve successfully installed the MongoDB on MacOS also assigned the proper permission. Now it’s time to run mongo daemon service. This service makes the connection and performs the task in the background. Hit the following command to run MongoDB.
Now your apps are all set to communicate with MongoDB. Mongo is correctly working in the background with the help of mongo daemon. You might also check which MongoDB version you are working on, just hit the below command in the terminal.
mongo --version output
Above command will tell you which MongoDB version is running in your local machine. Using the latest version has always been a good practice. It protects you from compatibility chaos with client-side app.
However, if you are using latest Mac version Catalina then the root folder is no longer writable.
