mongoDB error: Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]

Question

I\'m trying to install habitrpg locally but I keep getting a mongoDB error after typing node src/seed.js:

Error: failed to connect to [localhost:270         


        

Answer 1

You don't have MongoDB installed. Follow the directions for your system to install it: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/

From the habitRPG docs:

Before starting make sure to have MongoDB, NodeJS and npm and Git installed and set up.
