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

Try this code in your terminal:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" 

And then:

brew tap mongodb/brew  

Finally:

brew install mongodb-community@4.0

Answer 2

first install mongoldb

brew tap mongodb/brew

Secondly install using this command. mangodb successfully installed

brew install mongodb-community@4.0 

You will get the output

==> CaveatsTo have launchd start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community now and restart at login:
  brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
==> Summary

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

Answer 4

Formula mongodb has been removed from homebrew-core. Check pr-43770 from homebrew-core

To our users: if you came here because mongodb stopped working for you, we have removed it from the Homebrew core formulas since it was migrated to a non open-source license.

Fortunately, the team of mongodb is maintaining a custom Homebrew tap. You can uninstall the old mongodb and reinstall the new one from the new tap.

brew services stop mongodb
brew uninstall mongodb

brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community

Check mongodb/homebrew-brew for more info.
