Running into problems installing MongoDB on MacOS Terminal

Question

I am trying to install mongoDB as a macOS service but I am running to some errors

1. I first put in the terminal

   brew tap mongodb

Nothing really happens.

2. But, when I run:

brew install [email protected]

I receive:

Warning: No available formula with the name "mongosh" (dependency of mongodb/brew/mongodb-community). Did you mean mongocli?

==> Searching for similarly named fo This similarly named formula was found: mongocli ✔

To install it, run: brew install mongocli ✔ It was migrated from mongodb/brew to homebrew/core.

3. Finally, when I run

brew services start [email protected]

I receive

Error: Formula 'mongodb-community' is not installed.

Any advice?

Answer 1

I had the same happen, however my issue was actually with this error:

fatal: could not solve HEAD to a revision

solve it using:

git -C $(brew --repository homebrew/core) checkout master

you can also:

brew update

brew upgrade

brew upgrade --cask

brew cleanup

and then restart the mongodb community edition install process again! Worked for me!
