I installed MongoDB community Server from this link. But when I look into C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin
, I am not able to locate mongo.exe file. I am able to see mongod.exe and mongos.exe.
Can someone help. Thank you.
legacy mongo shell (mongo) no longer ships with server binaries (for servers >= 6.0). You can download a new shell version (mongosh) from here
Answer from dododo worked for me.
Download Mongo Shell - mongosh from MongoDB Download Center
Extract the contents of the bin from the downloaded zip file to the bin file of your MongoDB folder and run mongosh instead of mongo.
To run the Mongo Shell , Download msi package from the MongoDB Community Download - https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community
The version 6.0 do not ships with server binaries so mongo.exe file wouldn't be shown. So instead download mongo shell - https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell
After downloading unzip the bin directory in your Original bin directory
(You would also need to create a new directory in C: drive named data/db)
Now open the bin directory from Mongodb folder, and run mongod.exe
After that keeping Mongod.exe running in background open mongosh.exe ,
Your mongo Shell will be started.
After version 6.0.0 mongo.exe does not get installed to your bin folder so you have to manually install the new MongoDB shell which is called mongosh then you have to add its path to your system variables and then run mongosh --version to see if it got installed. Afterwards if you want to create your own databases and preform operations run "mongosh" in your terminal to connect to a MongoDB instance running on your localhost with default port 27017.
Read the mongoDB documentation for more information:
install mongosh:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/install/
The mongosh shell vs the old mongo shell:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/
Connect to a Deployment:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/connect/
It should be noted, that in MongoDB version 6.0 there are two items:
The legacy mongo shell is removed from MongoDB 6.0
The MongoDB Shell (mongosh) is not installed with MongoDB Server. You need to follow the mongosh installation instructions to download and install mongosh separately. This was already announced in MongoDB version 5.0
The legacy mongo shell does not exist anymore on MongoDB version 6.0. If you desire the old mongo.exe, then you can install if from an earlier MongoDB version.
You also need to add a path variable of the bin folder where mongosh application is present (after downloading from the below link:
https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell ).
Then you can use mongosh command from anywhere using CMD:
STEPS TO FOLLOW AFTER DOWNLOADING SHELL FROM https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell
Include both your mongosh shell and mongod in environment variables.
go to your c drive and create db folder inside data folder
then run your mongosh and mongod in two different cmd windows
separately
..first run mongod
..then run mongosh
if you have check-marked run as a service at the time of download
then next time you are not required to start mongosh , it will
automatically get started.

I installed Mongo Db via the official site. I also created the below folder
~/data/db
I added the mongo files in the location as follows :
/usr/local/mongodb
Im using zsh so setting the environment variables as suggested in the bash_profile doesnt work for me.
My .zshrc file looks as follows
export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export MONGO_PATH=/usr/local/mongodb
export PATH=MONGO_PATH/bin:$PATH
I also ran the source command as follows :
source ~/.zshrc
However even after trying variations of various answers, I still get :
zsh: command not found: mongo
What am I missing here?
I have the same problem when I try to install Mongo with official doc
This instruction help me to run MongoDB on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Try mongod --version
If there is no Mongodb installed try enter brew install mongodb
After this check installation again with mongod --version
Then use brew services start mongodb to run MongoDB on startup
Try brew install mongodb-community-shell.
My case:
I did try brew services start mongodb to solve it, but face this issue:
Error: No available formula with the name "mongodb". Did you mean mongosh or monetdb?
Here is a recommendation on how to solve it where brew install mongodb-community-shell mentioed as part install of the latest Mongo shell: https://developpaper.com/fix-mac-brew-installation-mongodb-error-no-available-formula-with-the-name-mongodb/
this one worked for me.in new macbook or air we cant find .zhrc or bash
in new mac its .zprofile. so change the path in .zprofile
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
brew install mongodb-community-shell
you can try it it work for me because when downloading mongodb it lacks the shell so when typing mongo in terminal it won't work
I have installed mongo db. Then when i tried to execute .mongo or mongo in command prompt. It's showing this error:
.mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
I'm following some tutorial, So I'm not able to move further because i got stuck here.
For those that want a step-by-step guide:
You need to add Mongo's bin folder to the "Path" Environment Variable
Here's how on Windows 10:
Find Mongo's bin folder.
If you're not sure where it is, it's probably in C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\ 3.4 was the latest stable version at the time, this will be different for you probably.
It should look like this:
Notice this is the path to mongo.exe and mongod.exe. Adding this folder to the Path variable is telling Windows to search in this folder for executables matching your command when you run something in cmd. The search starts with the current working dir, and if it doesn't find your exe, goes on to search all the paths in Path till it finds it or it doesn't and it gives you that error you saw.
Copy the path to the bin folder. It should be C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\ (Or whatever version you're using)
Press win, type env, Windows will suggest "Edit the System Environment Variables", click that.
On the Advanced tab, click "Environment Variables"
Highlight the "Path" variable, click "Edit":
This will bring up the "Edit environment variable" window, click "New"
This will start a new line in the list of folders:
Paste your path to the bin folder. Make sure it ends with a \ like so:
Press "OK", "OK", "OK"
Open a new cmd window to work with the updated path variable.
Now you should be able to run mongod and mongo from anywhere in a command window.
I think you might have forgotten setting Environment variables for Mongo’s
bin folder.Follow this, and try again: Set Environment variables for mongo db's bin folder path
Install the 6.0.1 version (or simply use latest version).
Set the path of "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin" in system environment variables by editing "path".
Open "cmd" and type "mongod --version" in place of "mongo --version".
If you have installed the 6.0.1 version then in place of mongo use mongod for example in place of mongo --version use mongod --v and it will work fine.
I have set the path and everything maybe the error is only in this version.
If there is no mongo.exe in your bin file, then download the mongo shell - mongosh from here
Use mongosh instead of mongo in the command line.
Check this Answer from dododo : "mongo shell no longer ships with server binaries."
Find the path to the MongoDB installed from driver name to .bin.
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin
Add to the user's path variable.
try below command if you face like -
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Vishal Bramhankar>mongo
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Vishal Bramhankar>mongo --version
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Vishal Bramhankar>mongod --version

If you downloaded MongoDB version 6 and installed it already. Then do the followings:
Download MongoDB shell from enter link description here
Extract it and paste it as a separate folder inside C Drive
enter image description here
Considering that you have already pasted your path inside the environment variables now paste the mongo shell that path also inside the path.enter image description here
create a data folder inside C Drive if you want to (optional)
open a new cmd and you are good to go.
mongo is deprecated in the new version
better to use mongosh once installed
Spending 30 minutes on this error Finally, I run this command only because the environment variable was not only an issue. For me version 6.0 not working I have set the environment variable many times but failed. finally, I downgrade the version and use 5.9, and set its environment variable too, and run this command its working fine now.
enter image description here
Download the MongoDB Shell
Installing an old version might work, and if you are on version 6,
use
mongod --version
instead of mongo
If you are using version 6.0 and your facing problem like
"mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
Then just use mongod --help or else for version mongod --version.
And people using Windows, try version 5.0.13, since the latest version is not working for Windows.
The "mongo" shell has been superseded by "mongosh"
Use this command mongosh --version to check mongo shell version
If you have installed >=6.0 version and even though after configuring environmental variables you are facing this error try this
In cmd enter mongod command instead of mongo
After entering the command if you encounter following issue 'DataDirectory data/db not found' then In C drive create data folder and inside data folder create db folder
Now try executing mongod command again
Optional: install mongosh through following url for executing mongocommands
https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell
In MongoDB latest version 6.0.2 there is no mongo.exe executable in bin folder. To execute commands you have to install mongosh shell. - Install from here
I was getting the same error 'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
I am connecting the Atlas cluster with the mongo shell with version 4.4.
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
I used mongoshell version instead of the 4.4 version and it worked for me.
It is because in mongodb version 6.0 we are downloading shell or mongosh separately so we have to add mongosh to our mongodb binary or bin folder.
Check the link so you can see images.
First Download MongoDB community server
Download MongoDB community server
When installing mongo community server
Copy Data Directory or Path marked by red arrow
then complete installation.
Download monogsh shell zip file and extract zip
MongoDB Shell Download
After that cut mongosh file from extracted files,
Cut this file
Goto earlier copied path(Data Directory Path)
paste mongosh inside this path
paste mongosh file
Add the Data Directory or path to Environment variable
finish now you can check by mongosh --version
if you want it mongo then rename mongosh inside data directory path to mongo and mongo --version
If you are on version 6, use mongod --version instead of mongo
it worked for me. please wait for some minutes if you are installed and did every configuration right wait some minutes if your laptop is running slow.
for mongoDb v5.0 and latest use mongosh instead of mongo
enter image description here
I face same Problem When i installed mongoDB Version(6.0).
I'm following some tutorial,
and use this command ["C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin\mongo.exe" --version] to check the version of mongoDB.
So I'm not able to move further because i got stuck here.Then i find a solution
Steps
1.open environment variable
enter image description here
2.click on environment variable button
enter image description here
3.copy a path on c drive
enter image description here
4.click on edit button
enter image description here
5.paste a path on variable name and variable value
enter image description here
6.then click ok
7.afther use this command to check version
enter image description here
"mongo" or "mongosh" didn't work in my case. I am using version 6.0 and while trying out the commands, I found "mongod" did the work.
Change the Version to 5.something, It will work.
Use version 5.0 because here you will get mongo.exe in your bin folder
Bin folder
I was also getting the same error on version 6.0 after that I downgraded to version 5 , the issue resolved but make sure you have edited the environment variable and at the end of your path put '\
I recently uninstalled MongoDB 3.2 to install MongoDB 3.6. Since then, every time I try to launch mongod, I get the following error: failed to open minidump file C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2018-02-18T17-02-35.mdmp : Access is denied.
I'm not even quite sure why it says Access is denied because, as I mentioned, I uninstalled MongoDB 3.2 hence the server/3.2/ directory doesn't exist anymore. So is there a way to change where MongoDB looks for this file?
Also, notice how the path seems to be missing a slash right after 3.2...... It does appear like that in my terminal, it's not a typo, I'm not sure about what I should think of that.
I am running Windows 10. And I want to point out that I did use the MongoDB 'wizard' to uninstall version 3.2 of MongoDB.
EDIT: I decided to wipe all of my database data folder and seed back the database and for now it seems to be working fine but I'll leave the question open until we can find a definitive answer to the problem, if possible
I had the same problem with a project which was working fine for me until then.
I used the following command and everything went back to normal:
mongod --dbpath "path" --repair
Please check the mongod.conf file to find out the dbpath. If the path is correct, update the folder permissions to give the mongodb user the required permissions in Control Panel. I am sorry that I don't have Microsoft System to find out the location of the mongod.conf file.
The usual path for Ubuntu system is /etc/mongod.conf and in the case of Mac it is /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf and you can edit using the command if you want to change the path.
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
In the case of Ubuntu or Linux or Mac the following command can be given.
sudo chown -R mongodb /datadrive1/mongodb
