Installing MongoDB with Homebrew
MongodbMacosHomebrewMongodb Problem Overview
I'm relatively new to MongoDB and am trying to install MongoDB on my Mac with Homebrew, but I'm getting the following error:
Error: No available formula with the name "mongodb"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last
month)...
Warning: homebrew/core is shallow clone. To get complete history
run:
git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" fetch --unshallow
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
I ran
brew update
Then
brew install mongodb
Mongodb Solutions
Solution 1 - Mongodb
Formula mongodb
has been removed from homebrew-core. Check pr-43770 from homebrew-core
> To our users: if you came here because mongodb stopped working for you, we have removed it from the Homebrew core formulas since it was migrated to a non open-source license.
Fortunately, the team of mongodb is maintaining a custom Homebrew tap. You can uninstall the old mongodb and reinstall the new one from the new tap.
# If you still have the old mongodb installed from homebrew-core
brew services stop mongodb
brew uninstall homebrew/core/mongodb
# Use the migrated distribution from custom tap
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community
Check mongodb/homebrew-brew for more info.
Solution 2 - Mongodb
With regards to macOS Big Sur
and Homebrew
the mongodb documentation states: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
You should install MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition which supports macOS 10.13 or later, Therefor these steps will be helpful.
SOLUTION 1:
If you have previously installed an older version of the formula, you may encounter a ChecksumMismatchError
to fix that:
Remove the downloaded .tgz archive.
brew untap mongodb/brew && brew tap mongodb/brew
Retap the formula.
brew install mongodb-community@4.4
SOLUTION 2: If you haven't installed any version of the formula.
1, Install the Xcode command-line tools and the Homebrew from https://brew.sh/#install
xcode-select --install
2, Tap the MongoDB Homebrew Tap:
brew tap mongodb/brew
3, Verify installation prerequisites in the macOS Terminal:
brew tap | grep mongodb
4, install MongoDB
brew install mongodb-community@4.4
Note: The installation includes:
• The mongod server,
• The mongos sharded cluster query router,
• The mongo shell
refer to this screenshot:
Finally to run MongoDB (i.e. the mongod process) as a macOS service, issue the following:
brew services start mongodb-community@4.4
screenshot:
Solution 3 - Mongodb
first install mongodb
brew tap mongodb/brew
Secondly install using this command. mangodb successfully installed
brew install mongodb-community@4.0
You will get the output
==> CaveatsTo have launchd start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community now and restart at login:
brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb-community/4.2.2: 21 files, 274.5MB, built in 2 minutes 46 seconds
brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
==> Successfully started `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-commu
Solution 4 - Mongodb
Try this code in your terminal:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
And then:
brew tap mongodb/brew
Finally:
brew install mongodb-community@4.0
Solution 5 - Mongodb
In MacOs Catalina doesn't work properly for me.
After the installation (https://zellwk.com/blog/install-mongodb/) i had to add permission to "/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock"
sudo chown -R `id -un` /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
and the command "mongod" seems to ignore the config file (mongod.conf) in "/usr/local/etc" so i have to always launch it with the dbpath argument
mongod --dbpath /usr/local/var/mongodb
even if the same path is specified in the config file.
Also using "mongod" with configuration file doesn't work for me
mongod -f /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
or
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
I solved all these issues starting the mongodb via brew services. That worked well without issues and takes the parameters from the right configuration file.
brew services run mongodb-community
Solution 6 - Mongodb
~ % brew services run mongodb-community
/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist: service already loaded
Error: Failure while executing
/bin/launchctl bootstrap gui/501 /usr/local/opt/mongodb-community/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
