Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found

Question

I follow all the steps mention in MongoDB installation documents for Ubuntu 16.04.

Steps 1:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserv         


        

Answer 1

As per documentation:

Run this command to reload the daemon:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

After this you need to restart the mongod service:

sudo systemctl start mongod

To verify that MongoDB has started, run:

sudo systemctl status mongod

To ensure that MongoDB will start following a system reboot, run:

sudo systemctl enable mongod
