Hi Chris
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling mongo, using both version 5.0 and 6.0 but the error remains the same. Is there a way for me to run the mongo shell locally on my mac terminal?
You are running the shell, it is giving an error because there is no server to connect to. mongosh is like mysql, psql, sqlplus it is a client, it needs a server to connect to.
You need an Atlas cluster or a local server to get started.
