$ brew install mongodb
$ mkdir -p /data/dbEnsure that user account running mongod has correct permissions for the directory:
$ sudo chmod 0755 /data/db
$ sudo chown $USER /data/db$ mongod
Note: If you get something like this:
exception in initAndListen: 10309 Unable to create/open lock file: /data/db/mongod.lock errno:13 Permission denied Is a mongod instance already running?, terminatingIt means that /data/db lacks required permission and ownership.
Run ls -ld /data/db/
Output should look like this (willis7 is directory owner and staff is group to which willis7 belongs):
drwxr-xr-x 7 willis7 staff 238 Aug 5 11:07 /data/db/
