Installing MongoDB (Updated 2/2021)

Notes: The name of the free version of MongoDB has changed to mongodb-community as of November 2019. Also, the Catalina version of MacOS (version 10.15) disallows folders being created at the root of the file system so you must create your MongoDB data folder inside your home folder

# Download the official Homebrew formula for MongoDB and the Database Tools
brew tap mongodb/brew

# Install MongoDB
brew install mongodb-community

There are two ways to start your server: 1. As a macOS service 2. Manually as a background process

As a Service

# List all services and their status
brew services ls

# Start
brew services start mongodb-community

# Stop
brew services stop mongodb-community

# Restart
brew services restart mongodb-community

As a Background Process

# For Mac running Intel processors
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf --fork

# For Apple M1 processors
mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf --fork

To stop the background process, you'll need to connect to your admin database in your mongo shell and run db.shutdownServer().

> use admin
> db.shutdownServer()
> exit
