I'm creating a basic web application on OSX for the first time.
I've installed MongoDB and I can use the 'mongo' command from the terminal, but I can't get into the mongodb shell with it.
SOE-SOE01492:evnt humadshah$ mongo
MongoDB shell version v3.4.6
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
2017-07-13T13:29:20.917+0500 W NETWORK [thread1] Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, in(checking socket for error after poll), reason: Connection refused
2017-07-13T13:29:20.917+0500 E QUERY [thread1] Error: couldn't connect to server 127.0.0.1:27017, connection attempt failed :

I have absolutely no idea what is causing this. I have never encountered this error on Windows before.
