I have been trying to sort this out all afternoon and I’m not getting anywhere between Stack Overflow and this forum.
I have installed mongodb-community via homebrew using the guide. I have created a folder in my user directory for it to write to but when running the command
mongod --dbpath /Users/myuser/data/db
This is the output I get, I have tried to google everything in this but have gotten nowhere.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
