How to install MongoDB on Mac OS X Video Lecture | The Complete Developers Guide to Mongo DB - Database Management

hey guys in this video I'm going to show
you how you can download and install
MongoDB on your Mac operating system so
let's get started and let's see how we
can download MongoDB so first of all
just open your favorite browser and
search for MongoDB and hopefully the
first link which will appear here will
be from MongoDB dot-com which is this
one so I'm going to just click on that
link and here this website
MongoDB website keeps on changing so you
just need to search for the Downloads
button so at the time of making this
video this button is at the top-right
end of this website which is this one so
I'm going to click on this download
button and then we need to choose which
version of MongoDB we want to download
so we want the community server for
MongoDB so just choose this option which
says community server and then choose
the OS X version right now here you have
the option to download that tgz file
which is the format of you know
compression which is similar to the zip
file if you are familiar with the zip
files right so just click on this
download button which is going to
download the tgz file you can see this
download for the tgz file is started so
it's around 87 megabyte files so it will
take some time to download so I'm going
to just pause this video until this file
is downloaded and once it's downloaded
we are going to see how to extract it
and how to install MongoDB so now this
MongoDB tgz file is downloaded on my Mac
operating system so what I'm going to do
is I'm going to minimize the browser and
now I'm going to open that terminal
right so just open your terminal and
once the terminal is open we are going
to just CD to the Downloads folder where
we have saved our DG's at friends so let
me do LS to list all the content and you
can see this file we have downloaded
right so first of all we are going to
extract this file because it's a zip
file
so to extract it you just need to give
this command tar and then X Z F and then
the name of your tar file which is
MongoDB OS X SSL whatever version dot TG
said right and then press Enter which is
going to extract this tar file and once
this star file is extracted we are going
to just copy the content of this MongoDB
folder to our user local folder so now
the command is successful and we are
going to do LS once again and you can
see it has extracted this folder which
is mom would be be OS X whatever version
is right so this folder we just need to
move this folder to the user local
folder so the next is to move this
folder so we will use the MV command all
the command I'm going to give you in the
description of this video so you can
directly copy those come on and then
paste it into your terminal also so MV
and let's use sudo for it because we are
going to copy it into the user local
folder right so MV and then the name of
your MongoDB folder and then the
destination folder so the destination
folder will be user local and then we
will name our MongoDB folder as MongoDB
so just write Mongo DB okay so this is
the command to move this folder to the
user local bin let me just maximize this
terminal so we can see this command in a
better way so this is the command to
move just press ENTER and then give your
max password I'm going to give my max
password and now this command is
successful let's list all the contents
of this downloads folder once again so
you can see only tgz file is remaining
here we have already moved this folder
to the user local MongoDB folder so
let's CD to the user local MongoDB
folder and let's see if we have this
folder there or not so user local and
then Mongo DB and then LS and you can
see all the contents of this Mongo DB e
a folder is transferred to use a local
forward slash MongoDB okay
so once this is done the next step is to
create the forward slash data for a
slash DB folder so by default Mongo DB
writes or stores data into a folder
called a four slash data for / DB and we
need to create this folder right so we
will just use the mkdir command to make
this directory so we just use the pseudo
first of all and then mkdir and then the
flag - P and this flag will allow us to
create the directory structure which is
a forward slash data for /d B okay so
sudo mkdir - p4 slash data for / DB +
press enter and then you can just see if
this directory is created or not so I'm
going to just do CD or slash data and /d
B and let's enter and we are inside this
four slash data for / DB folder I have
given double forward slash here by
mistake but you can just just give this
for / dat ax for / DV it will work fine
also okay so I'm going to just do PWD
which is present working directory and
you can see we are inside this four
slash data for / DB right so now the
next step is to manually change the
permission of this folder so to change
the permission of this folder what we
need to do is we
you just need to give this command sudo
and then we are going to give a CH own
command and then whatever is your user
name so to know your user name you just
need to write Who am I and this is your
user name in your case right so to
change the permission of for /data
/resource urn aim in my case it's code
mine but in your case it will be
different and then /data /index enter
which is going to change the permission
of this folder which is for /data
/resource /name for now and let me just
do CD so that i'm going to be in my home
directory right so just to CD blank CD
which is going to just redirect you to
your home directory right so once you
are in your home directory you can just
do pwt and you will be in your users
forward slash whatever you is your
username right so you need to be in this
directory and then you just need to open
the bash profile file here so you can
just do LS - l for example to list out
all the files and let me do LS - L so it
will just list out all the hidden files
also so now I have done LS - L and you
will be able to see this bash profile
dot bash profile file here okay so the
command was LS - al and if this dot bash
profile file is not
you can create this file using patch
command so you can just give touch and
then dot bash profile okay and then it's
going to create this bash profile file
if it's not plugin and if it's present
then you just need to open it okay so
you just need to open this dot bash
profile so we are going to open this dot
bash profile by giving this command give
open and then dot bash profile and then
press Enter which is going to open this
bash profile file into your editor okay
so you can see I have already created
this dot bash profile and I have already
exported some paths earlier for example
for Java home or for node.js I'm I was
working with node.js or so I had set
those spots into my dot bash profile
filum I want to add this new path for
MongoDB into this dot bash profile right
so the export which we want to do here
is I have just copied down into a text
editor which is these two lines of path
we need to export okay so I'm going to
also give these exports into the
description of this video so you can
directly copy those paths and just paste
it into your bash profile file okay
I'm going to just copy these paths which
is export Mongo underscore path is equal
to four slash user four slash local
forward slash MongoDB and then export
path is equal to part : dollar Mongo
path for slash bin okay
so just I'm going to copy this and I'm
going to paste this at the end of my
bash profile file and then I'm going to
save it so I'm going to just save this
file you can just go here and then save
it or you can just give commands s to
save it okay
so once it's saved I'm going to close
this file I'm going to minimize this and
once I have added these exports I just
need to restart my terminal or I can
just give this command source and then
dot bash profiler which is going to
reload this mash profile for me okay so
I have given this come on and once this
is done I'm going to just close this
terminal and let's just test where the
MongoDB is really installed or not so
I'm going to just open two terminals now
so the first term and the second term so
I have opened two terminal 1 terminal we
need to run the Mongo daemon and the
other terminal we need to interact with
the MongoDB ok so on one terminal you
just need to write Mongo D and then
press ENTER and if you see this kind of
output then you know that MongoDB is
perfectly running fine and then you can
connect to your MongoDB so to connect to
your MongoDB you just need to give Mongo
command here so just give mom go and
then press ENTER and you are connected
to your MongoDB ok so on one terminal I
have given Mongo D command which is for
the Mongo daemon to start and on the
other terminal here I have given Mongo
command which is going to start the
interactive Mongo client right so this
is on the left hand side is the Mongol
client and here we can just write show
for example show DBS so just write show
DBS which is going to show all the
databases which are already present by
default into your Mongo database and
then press ENTER and I can see there are
two databases which is admin and local
which are already there by default on my
MongoDB server right
in order to create MongoDB we can create
it but we are going to see it later in
this video I just wanted to show you how
you can download and install MongoDB on
your Mac operating system if you want to
check the version of MongoDB you can
just open the next terminal for example
and you can just write for example Mongo
- version then press Enter
which is going to give you the version
of MongoDB installed so in my case its
version three point six point one right
so in this way you can download and
install MongoDB on your own Mac
operating system I hope you enjoyed this
