I installed mongodb
using these instructions:
https://github.com/mongodb/homebrew-brew
However, I cannot connect to a mongo shell when I run mongo.
How do I connect to the mongo shell?
I was made aware of mongosh, when I run the mongosh command after installing it, I get connect ECONNREFUSED.
When I run a ps -ef | grep mongod | grep -v grep | wc -l | tr -d '' it shows zero process is running, which would logically explain why I cannot connect, but then what do I do when I run brew services start mongodb-community and it says its starts but zero process when I look into it.
I don't know if sudo mkdir -p /data/db is what is missing for this to run correctly, but when I attempt to run that step, I get mkdir: /data: Read-only file system.
So I placed the directory in /Users/<username>/data/db and then ran mongod --dbpath=/Users/<username>/data/db and nothing.
