You just added a key-value pair in your ‘test’ database and retrieved it!Īlright, so this was my experience installing and running MongoDB and HomeBrew on my Mac. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000 Tue Sep 3 16:55:43.527 ** WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Now, to connect to it, in Terminal 2 type following: If you get above message, then know that you have successfully started your Mongod service.

Now, we will create a default config file for MongoDB to be provided for the first time we run ‘mongod’ command.Change ownership and that will do the job.
