Cannot find bin folder after installing MongoDB 3.6 for OSX Yosemite

Question

I would like to use MongoDB on my Mac (OSX Yosemite), but after installing version 3.6 I can start MongoDB, but I'm not able to use Mongo shell. After checking the directories I also cannot find bin folder inside MongoDB folder.

I can only start MongoDB with: brew services start mongodb-community@3.6

==> Successfully started mongodb-community@3.6 (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-c

I can't use 3.6 because my xCode is too old for this version.

brew info mongodb mongodb: stable 4.0.3 High-performance, schema-free, document-oriented database https://www.mongodb.com/ Not installed From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mongodb.rb ==> Dependencies Build: go ✘, pkg-config ✔, scons ✘ Required: openssl ✘, python@2 ✘ ==> Requirements Build: xcode ✘

Thank you guys in advance for your help!

Maybe you can try to search for it by "find / -iname 'mongo'"

Mine is at below two places:

• /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Aliases/mongo
• /Users//mongodb/mongodb-osx-x86_64-enterprise-4.0.4/bin/mongo
