Installing MongoDB with Homebrew

Question

I\'m relatively new to MongoDB and am trying to install MongoDB on my Mac with Homebrew, but I\'m getting the following error:

Error: No available formula wi         


        

Answer 1

In MacOs Catalina doesn't work properly for me.

After the installation (https://zellwk.com/blog/install-mongodb/) i had to add permission to "/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock"

sudo chown -R `id -un` /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock

and the command "mongod" seems to ignore the config file (mongod.conf) in "/usr/local/etc" so i have to always launch it with the dbpath argument

mongod --dbpath /usr/local/var/mongodb

even if the same path is specified in the config file.

Also using "mongod" with configuration file doesn't work for me

mongod -f /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

or

mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

I solved all these issues starting the mongodb via brew services. That worked well without issues and takes the parameters from the right configuration file.

brew services run mongodb-community
