Installing and Running MongoDB on OSX

Question

If someone can provide some insights here I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I am new to MongoDB, and (relatively) new to the command line.

I had a express/nod

Answer 1

additionally you may want mongo to run on another port, then paste this command on terminal,

mongod --dbpath /data/db/ --port 27018

where 27018 is the port we want mongo to run on

assumptions

1. mongod exists in your bin i.e /usr/local/bin/ for mac ( which would be if you installed with brew), otherwise you'd need to navigate to the path where mongo is installed
2. the folder /data/db/ exists
