need help …

previously in bash terminal mongo shell was connected but after updating terminal to zsh …not able to do anything …
want to know where i am doing mistakes??

[Shubham_Ranjan]

Hi @Anuja_85051,

Have you tried after restarting the terminal ?

Also, if the issue is still unresolved then please try this approach.

@Shubham_Ranjan

Now follow the steps mentioned below to set up the mongo shell in your system.

1. Move the downloaded file to your home directory
2. Unzip it
3. Open terminal
4. Run this command :
   sudo nano /etc/paths
5. Terminal will ask to enter the password
6. A new file will open up containing the path variables
7. Go to the bottom and add the path i.e.
   ~/ mongodb-osx-x86_64-enterprise-4.0.10 /bin

Note : The folder name (Highlighted above) could be different for you if you have downlaoded any other version.

8. Press ctrl+x and then hit enter
9. Restart the terminal

To test if the path has been successfully set up or not, try running this command

mongo --nodb

If all went well you should be able to see something like this :

MongoDB shell version v4.0.10
Welcome to the MongoDB shell.

Let me know if this was helpful.

Hello
I’ve followed all the steps mentioned above and it does not work :

Thanks for the help !

[Ramachandra_Tummala]

Try to give full path of mongo and check if it works or not
After you edited /etc/paths file and saved are you able to see new path?
echo $PATH
or try from a new session

Thanks for the answers!

After I edited the /etc/paths file and enter echo $PATH that what I got :

and I tried again to enter mongo --nodb in a new session and it still not work : .

[Shubham_Ranjan]

Hi @kevin_lolaka_64219,

As I can see in the screenshot, you have an extra space at the end of the path ~/mongodb-macos-x86_64-enterprise-4.2.2/bin. Please remove it -> save the file -> restart your terminal and you should be good to go from here.

Hope it helps!

Happy Learning

Shubham, I am encountering the exact same error. I followed the thread above using Nano and double-checked to ensure I did not add spaces, etc. Note that I am zsh, not bsh (I am OS 10.15.2). Am I running into a SIP issue? I did the install per the tutorial in M001 but am stuck at Chapter 2: Installing the Mongo Shell. I have attached a screenshot of a fresh terminal with echo command and query results.

[Ramachandra_Tummala]

May be you have to edit your .zshrc file

Please check stackoverflow threads

Command not found after npm install in zsh

[marksnewton (Mark Newton)]

Hi @Ramachandra_37567

I have done this but nothing changed. It should not be this impossible to get a MongoDB Shell running. Is there a summary anywhere that is up-to-date with complete steps based on Mac OS X Catalina?

[marksnewton (Mark Newton)]

@Ramachandra_37567 … I have gone a different route and got it working. Thanks for the assistance anyway. This is resolved for me.

[Shubham_Ranjan]

Hi @Ambra_23470,

Please let me know if the issue still persists.
