mongodb在Linux node.js上安装错误

Question

I'm trying to install MongoDB with node.js on linux. I installed it with command npm install mongodb --save , I can find mongdb dependence in packages.json file but when I use commands mongod, mongodb or mongo I get error

bash: mongod: command not found

Please help me

Answer 1

Your mistake is you are installing a node.js client for mongoDB but trying to launch a mongodb server in a shell.

In order to use mongod command you should install mongodb server itself.

Follow this tutorial to install mongoDB in Ubuntu.

Answer 2

when you run npm install mongodb --save , you just install the drivers to connect mongodb and your application. You can download the mongodb server from the official site here
