Is mongodb installed?

If yes it coud be path issue.Have you updated mongdb/bin to your PATH?
Check echo $PATH

yes, but you must have fixed the path issue because you are inside the mongo shell. when someone offer a solution follow it. with the path fixed you should try the original command rather than going into another direction.

Hi @Shubham_Ranjan / @steevej-1495

Thanks for the help. Issue is resolved now.
PATH was not set in the environment variables.
