Mongo command not found on Mac using zsh?

Question

I installed Mongo Db via the official site. I also created the below folder

~/data/db

I added the mongo files in the location as follows:

/usr/local/mongodb

Im using zsh so setting the environment variables as suggested in the bash_profile doesnt work for me. My.zshrc file looks as follows

export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export MONGO_PATH=/usr/local/mongodb
export PATH=MONGO_PATH/bin:$PATH

I also ran the source command as follows:

source ~/.zshrc

However even after trying variations of various answers, I still get:

zsh: command not found: mongo

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

I have the same problem when I try to install Mongo with official doc

This instruction help me to run MongoDB on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

1. Try mongod --version
2. If there is no Mongodb installed try enter brew install mongodb
3. After this check installation again with mongod --version
4. Then use brew services start mongodb to run MongoDB on startup

Answer 2

Try brew install mongodb-community-shell .

My case:

I did try brew services start mongodb to solve it, but face this issue:

Error: No available formula with the name "mongodb". Did you mean mongosh or monetdb?

Here is a recommendation on how to solve it where brew install mongodb-community-shell mentioed as part install of the latest Mongo shell: https://developpaper.com/fix-mac-brew-installation-mongodb-error-no-available-formula-with-the-name-mongodb/

Answer 3

this one worked for me.in new macbook or air we cant find .zhrc or bash

in new mac its .zprofile . so change the path in .zprofile

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH

Answer 4

      brew install mongodb-community-shell

you can try it it work for me because when downloading mongodb it lacks the shell so when typing mongo in terminal it won't work
