How to start a mongodb service on mac OS X?

Question

I have already installed Mongodb on my mac but the process is currently not running. How do I start the Mongodb service so that I can start using the commands?

Answer 1

Just do brew services start mongodb-community. Example:

$ brew services list
Name              Status  User Plist
mongodb-community stopped      
$ brew services start mongodb-community
==> Successfully started `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community)

Of course, depends on your installation. This is the typical brew install.
