Ops and Admin Sharding

Hi everyone, I’m a newbie and just getting into MongoDB.
Now encountered a strange problem, unable to perform sharding. I use Windows 11, MongoDB6.0.6, and log in through the Windows command line → mongosh. After entering the command at the correct position, it is always prompted:

test> sh.shardCollection("INVENTORY.inventory", { name : "hashed" })
MongoServerError: no such command: 'shardCollection'. Are you connected to mongos?

What should I do?
Thanks!

Where you are running this command?
What is your setup like?data replicas,config servers,mongod etc
Have you completed all pre steps
You have to run it on mongos instance

“Are you connected to mongos?”

Best Regards
