MongDB

Just like Postgres before we can start using MongoDB we need to install it on our machines and have it running.

MacOS using Hombrew

brew update
brew install mongodb

Ubuntu Download

Start MongoDB by running

//homebrew users
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

//ubuntu
mongod

//If there was permissions error when just running mongod make sure that there is a directory /data/db and that directory has permission to read & write for the current user

Ok now that the mongo database is running we can fire up the MongoDB shell by by opening a new tab in our terminal and running this command.

mongo
