What is the correct way to start a mongod service on linux OS X

Question

I ve installed mongodb and have been able to run it  work with it  do simple DB read   write type stuff   Now I m trying to set up my Mac to run mongod as a service   I get  Command not found  in response to     init mongod start   In response to       service mongod start service  This command still works  but it is deprecated  Please use launchctl 8  instead  service  failed to start the  mongod  service   And if I try      launchctl start mongod launchctl start error  No such process   So obviously I m blundering around a bit  Next step seems to be typing in random characters until something works  The command which does work is  mongod --quiet  amp  I m not sure  maybe that is the way you re supposed to do it   Maybe I should just take off  quiet mode  and add  gt   logs mongo log to the end of the command line   I m building a development environment on a Mac with the intention of doing the same thing on a linux server   I m just not sure of the Bash commands   All the other searches I do with trying to pull up the answer give me advice for windows machines     Perhaps someone knows the linux version of the commands   Thanks very much

On macOS 10 13 6 with MongoDB 4 0  I was unable to connect to localhost from the mongo shell  I started MongoDB with      mongod --config  usr local etc mongod conf   I found that the  mongod conf  had      bindIp  127 0 0 1   Change my JavaScript connection from localhost to 127 0 0 1 and it worked fine    The same was occurring with MongoDB Compass too

I did a bit of looking around on the Mac side   You may want to use the installer here as it looks like it does all the setup for you to automatically launch on Mac OS  The only downside is it looks like it s using a pretty old mongo version    This link here also explains the setup to get mongo automatically launching as a background service on the Mac

First Step install mongodb in your linux machine with  apt install mongodb-client  amp  amp  apt install mongodb-server  second step is change the database path instead of your system default path if you want  so do the following steps and change it for yourself  mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath  var lib mongodb data db --logpath  var lib mongodb log mongodb log --logappend --rest  and in your windows machine do it just like that just put an --install flag  you have to get a successful message  Best Regards

Edit  you should now use brew services start mongodb  as in Gergo s answer     When you install upgrade mongodb  brew will tell you what to do      To have launchd start mongodb at login        ln -sfv  usr local opt mongodb   plist   Library LaunchAgents      Then to load mongodb now        launchctl load   Library LaunchAgents homebrew mxcl mongodb plist      Or  if you don t want need launchctl  you can just run        mongod   It works perfectly

Just installed MongoDB via Homebrew  At the end of the installation console  you can see an output as follows   To start mongodb   brew services start mongodb   Or  if you don t want need a background service you can just run   mongod --config  usr local etc mongod conf   So  brew services start mongodb  managed to run MongoDB as a service for me
