    Install MongoDB with Homebrew

brew install mongodb
mkdir -p /data/db
Set permissions for the data directory

Ensure that user account running mongod has correct permissions for the directory:
sudo chmod 0755 /data/db
sudo chown $USER /data/db
Run MongoDB!

iTerm buffer 1: mongod

iTerm buffer 2: mongo

Note: If you get something like this:
exception in initAndListen: 10309 Unable to create/open lock file: /data/db/mongod.lock errno:13 Permission denied Is a mongod instance already running?, terminating
It means that /data/db lacks required permission and ownership.
Run ls -ld /data/db/
Output should look like this (gibber is directory owner and wheel is group to which gibber belongs):
drwxr-xr-x  7 gibber  wheel  238 Aug  5 11:07 /data/db/
