问题
I'm trying to setup a cronjob for a regularly scheduled import of json data into a mongo database. To conduct the import, I have the following command in the Python script that the cronjob runs:
os.system("mongoimport --jsonArray --db %s --collection %s --file .../data.txt" %(db_name,collection_name))
However, the log file of the cronjob keeps displaying the following error:
sh: mongoimport: command not found
I think I need to call mongoimport with the full file path in the code, but I'm not sure where mongodb/mongod/mongoimport is installed on my system. whereis mongoimport, whereis mongodb, whereis mongod all return nothing.
I installed mongodb with Homebrew. Packages installed with Homebrew are located in /Library/Caches/Homebrew. However, in my system that folder only has a mongodb-2.6.4_1 tar file. Do I have to unpack this tar file to access mongoimport?
Thanks for your help.

If you installed MongoDB correctly you need to create a ~/.bash_profile and assign /usr/local/mongodb/bin to the $PATH environment variable
After that you should be able to access the mongoimport command

Got the same issue, but I installed mongodb via Mac Port. Unfortunately, from version 3 of mongodb, these mongodb tools are maintained as a separate project, so I updated Mac port to latest version then installed mongo tools separately.
sudo port install mongo-tools
Hope this helps someone that installing mongodb by mac port.

If you used brew for installation, mongod is in /usr/local/bin/ directory. Other utilities (mongoimport, mongoexport etc.) are in the same path. All you need to do is open another terminal.

Visit https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community and you can download a tarball for MacOS, which contains all the tools including mongoimport.
Untar, add to you PATH and voilà!
回答5:
Try using ./mongoimport or sudo ./mongoimport
After following all of these examples, I was able to use it that way from bash.
