MongoDB Installation on Mac

You can run MongoDB as a macOS service using brew, or you can run MongoDB manually as a background process. It is recommended to run MongoDB as a macOS service, as doing so sets the correct system ulimit values automatically (see ulimit settings for more information).

To run MongoDB manually as a background process, issue the following:

mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf --fork

Run mongoDB in the foreground

mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

cat /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
systemLog:
  destination: file
  path: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
  logAppend: true
storage:
  dbPath: /usr/local/var/mongodb
net:
  bindIp: 127.0.0.1

Alternatively, to run MongoDB as a macOS service, issue the following (the process uses the /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf file, created during the install):

brew services start mongodb-community@4.2

Tais-MBP:birdboard tailu$ brew services start mongodb-community@4.2

To verify that MongoDB is running, search for mongod in your running processes:

ps aux | grep -v grep | grep mongod

Tais-MBP:birdboard tailu$ ps aux | grep -v grep | grep mongod
tailu            59126   0.0  0.2  5592684  41400   ??  S     5:37AM   0:01.05 /usr/local/opt/mongodb-community/bin/mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf

When a MongoDB Server instance is started on a machine, it has to start listening on a port. By default, port number 27017 is used to mongod and mongos instances.

To begin using MongoDB, connect a mongo shell to the running instance. From a new terminal, issue the command:

mongo

Localhost Binding by Default

By default, MongoDB launches with bindIp set to 127.0.0.1, which binds to the localhost network interface. This means that the mongod can only accept connections from clients that are running on the same machine. Remote clients will not be able to connect to the mongod, and the mongod will not be able to initialize a replica set unless this value is set to a valid network interface.

create new db :

use <dbname>, 
db.<collectionName>.insert()

Remove & Update

var item = db.collection.findOne({'condition':'some condition'})
db.collection.remove({_id: item._id});

db.collectionname.remove({"_id": ObjectId("5473293d43ecdre56352457f3a")})

db.mycollection.remove()

db.mycollection.update(
  {“city”: “Helsinki”},
  {
    $set:{
      “population”: 123456
    }
  },
  { upsert: true }
