MongoDB Install For MacOS

Install MongoDB The easiest way to install MongoDB is to use a package manager or the pre-built binaries: Package managers If you use the Homebrew package manager, run: $ brew update $ brew install mongodb   If you use MacPorts you can install with: $ sudo port install mongodb This will take a while to install. 32-bit binaries Note: 64-bit is recommended (if you have a 64-bit system). $ curl http://downloads.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-i386-x.y.z.tgz > mongo.tgz $ tar xzf mongo.tgz   Replace x.y.z with the current stable version. 64-bit binaries $ curl http://downloads.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64-x.y.z.tgz > mongo.tgz $ tar xzf mongo.tgz   Replace x.y.z with the current stable version. Create a data directory By default MongoDB will store data in /data/db, but it won't automatically create that directory. To create it, do: $ mkdir -p /data/db   You can also tell MongoDB to use a different data directory, with the --dbpath option. Run and connect to the server First, start the MongoDB server in one terminal: $ ./mongodb-xxxxxxx/bin/mongod   In a separate terminal, start the shell, which will connect to localhost by default: $ ./mongodb-xxxxxxx/bin/mongo > db.foo.save( { a : 1 } ) > db.foo.find()   Congratulations, you've just saved and retrieved your first document with MongoDB!
