How to Install MongoDB-Community Edition on Mac

In this video, I’ll walk you through how to install MongoDB Community Edition on a Mac. You’ll need to have homebrew installed prior to beginning this tutorial. Additionally, I deviate slightly from the instructions since I’m installing the latest version of MongoDB Community, not a specific version. Finally, I walk you through how to start MongoDB Community Edition as a brew service so you don’t have to remember to run mongo in the background.

I watched 3 or 4 of "how to" mongodb install videos. This was by far the simplest. Thank YOU!!!

I've watched a couple videos already but this is the best MongoDB installation tutorial yet!

Thank you for keeping it short and sweet.

Thank you for this video! Especially liked the end, where you teach us how to star the mongo shell by typing "mongo" in the terminal. This was a part that I was missing...

I go through all the steps but get a "zsh: command not found: mongo" at the end when i try to run "mongo". please help anyone

Everthing was okay until the "mongo" command. terminal says: zsh: command not found: mongo. And I do not know why.

Thanks, i was getting all sorts of errors on Big Sur but fine after installed the command line tools.
xcode-select --install

Thanks for the tutorial!
For me in the installation process, from the error messages, I needed to install the "Xcode command line tool", "brew install gcc."
It totally took some minutes and like 1~2 GB on my harddisk.
Finally running the command "mongo, " I could enter the mongo shell as in the video.

(Note: I've faced this error message:
"clang: error: unable to find utility "clang", not a developer tool or in PATH"
But I didn't tackle it, which didn't seem to affect reaching the final step.)

Hi, unfortunately when I type brew services start mongodb-community it seems to work, meaning I don't get an error, but when I try brew services list it says Status: error, and then the mongo command doesn't work either of course. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Thank You

Warning! mongodb-community must be rung as non-root to start at user login!???
