Answer 1

If you want to install an earlier MongoDB version on mac. Go to the link https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.6/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/ and select the version which you want to install and its very easy to install, just give a try. There will be around 2-3 commands for installation.

For example if you want to install version 3.6

brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community@3.6

If you got some error

If you need to have mongodb-community@3.6 first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community@3.6/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Then run

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community@3.6/bin:$PATH"

To confirm if it successfully installed:

mongod -version
