No such file or directory error

Ops and Admin Installation & Upgrades
1

I accidentally removed the admin account and decided that the easiest solution was to reinstall mongodb community edition version 6.

After a series of unsuccessful attempts I have managed to get the service running. But when I
$ mongosh

I’m presented with:

-bash: /usr/bin/mongosh: No such file or directory

I’ve been trying to resolve what I thought would be a simple reinstall, for hours.

Somebody. Anybody. PLEASE help. :slight_smile:

Thank you,
Sam

Hi @sam_ames,
First verify that it is indeed not there, then run the following command:

find / -iname mongosh

If it is not actually installed you can do:

wget https://downloads.mongodb.com/compass/mongodb-mongosh-1.10.1.x86_64.rpm

If your os is centos or rhel

wget link

Show us the output of ls -lrt mongosh
Did you try to run it from the bin directory?
