Answer 1

You need to create this ( /data/db ) directory as root

Either you need to use sudo , eg sudo mkdir -p /data/db

Or you need to do su - to become superuser, and then create the directory with mkdir -p /data/db

Note:

MongoDB also has an option where you can create the data directory in another location, but that's generally not a good idea, because it just slightly complicates things such as DB recovery, because you always have to specify the db-path manually.

Answer 2

create data/db directory in root and give read and write permission

cd /
sudo mkdir data
sudo mkdir data/db
sudo chown -R $USER /data/db
sudo chown -R $USER /tmp/
