I'm relatively new to MongoDB and am trying to install MongoDB on my Mac with Homebrew, but I'm getting the following error:
Error: No available formula with the name "mongodb"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last
month)...
Warning: homebrew/core is shallow clone. To get complete history
run:
git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" fetch --unshallow
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
I ran
brew update
Then
brew install mongodb
Formula mongodb has been removed from homebrew-core. Check pr-43770 from homebrew-core
To our users: if you came here because mongodb stopped working for you, we have removed it from the Homebrew core formulas since it was migrated to a non open-source license.
Fortunately, the team of mongodb is maintaining a custom Homebrew tap. You can uninstall the old mongodb and reinstall the new one from the new tap.
# If you still have the old mongodb installed from homebrew-core
brew services stop mongodb
brew uninstall homebrew/core/mongodb
# Use the migrated distribution from custom tap
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community
Check mongodb/homebrew-brew for more info.
With regards to macOS Big Sur and Homebrew the mongodb documentation states: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
You should install MongoDB 4.4 Community Edition which supports macOS 10.13 or later, Therefor these steps will be helpful.
SOLUTION 1:
If you have previously installed an older version of the formula, you may encounter a ChecksumMismatchError to fix that:
Remove the downloaded .tgz archive.
brew untap mongodb/brew && brew tap mongodb/brew
Retap the formula.
brew install mongodb-community#4.4
SOLUTION 2:
If you haven't installed any version of the formula.
1, Install the Xcode command-line tools and the Homebrew from https://brew.sh/#install
xcode-select --install
2, Tap the MongoDB Homebrew Tap:
brew tap mongodb/brew
3, Verify installation prerequisites in the macOS Terminal:
brew tap | grep mongodb
4, install MongoDB
brew install mongodb-community#4.4
Note: The installation includes:
• The mongod server,
• The mongos sharded cluster query router,
• The mongo shell
refer to this screenshot:
Finally to run MongoDB (i.e. the mongod process) as a macOS service, issue the following:
brew services start mongodb-community#4.4
screenshot:
first install mongodb
brew tap mongodb/brew
Secondly install using this command. mangodb successfully installed
brew install mongodb-community#4.0
You will get the output
==> CaveatsTo have launchd start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community now and restart at login:
brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
==> Summary

brew services start mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
==> Successfully started `mongodb-community` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-commu
Try this code in your terminal:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
And then:
brew tap mongodb/brew
Finally:
brew install mongodb-community#4.0

Error: Failure while executing

exited with 17.
In MacOs Catalina doesn't work properly for me.
After the installation (https://zellwk.com/blog/install-mongodb/) i had to add permission to "/tmp/mongodb-27017.sock"
sudo chown -R `id -un` /tmp/mongodb-27017.sock
and the command "mongod" seems to ignore the config file (mongod.conf) in "/usr/local/etc" so i have to always launch it with the dbpath argument
mongod --dbpath /usr/local/var/mongodb
even if the same path is specified in the config file.
Also using "mongod" with configuration file doesn't work for me
mongod -f /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
or
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
I solved all these issues starting the mongodb via brew services. That worked well without issues and takes the parameters from the right configuration file.
brew services run mongodb-community
Just go for
brew tap mongodb/brew
Homebrew at times won’t get installed in max while the OS is updated , like recently Max OS Ventura - it’s not supported , we can quickly install Mongo DB without homebrew just by using some commands in terminal , checkout the details here : https://medium.com/#pratheushcmohan/install-mongodb-in-mac-without-using-home-brew-23b2556ff930

Trying to install mongodb server on my mac using Brew but getting this error.
Updated my brew to latest version, still egtting this error.
Command i used:
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
I figured it out myself. Here is the solution which I found out. I am using mac os on intel processor.
I first run
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
then
brew tap homebrew/core
then
brew tap mongodb/brew
then installed it
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
This worked for me.
I am trying to use MongoDB on MacOS Monterey, but it does not seem to work. I've installed it via Homebrew, and the
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/bin/mongo
is missing.
brew list mongodb-community#6.0
returns:
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/bin/install_compass
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/bin/mongod
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/bin/mongos
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/MPL-2
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mongodb-community/6.0.1/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES
You need first use:
brew tap mongodb/brew
Then use:
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
This is documented on this MongoDB page:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
I'm trying to install MongoDB server on macOS Big Sur using brew, I'm following the documentation on the official mongo website.
I run the following command:
brew tap mongodb/brew
after that, I run:
brew install mongodb-community#4.4
but I got the following error:
Error: No similarly named formulae found.
Error: No available formula with the name "mongosh" (dependency of mongodb/brew/mongodb-community).
It was migrated from mongodb/brew to homebrew/core.
For me homebrew-core was not tapped properly.
brew doctor
Warning: Homebrew/homebrew-core was not tapped properly! Run:
rm -rf "/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
Warning: Some taps are not on the default git origin branch and may not receive
updates. If this is a surprise to you, check out the default branch with:
git -C $(brew --repo homebrew/core) checkout master
We need to remove and tap homebrew/core again.
rm -rf "/opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core"
brew tap homebrew/core
After this we need to tap mongodb/brew
brew tap mongodb/brew
And then install mongodb-community
brew install mongodb-community
It worked for me.
As the error message shows, you need to first install mongosh(https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongosh#readme).
Steps:
brew update
brew install mongosh
brew install mongodb-community .
Should fix your problem.
Steps:
brew untap mongodb/brew
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
fix my problem.
Run this command in terminal:
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
Then try:
brew install mongosh
or
brew install mongodb-community#4.4
It work perfectly
You need to remove tap by running brew untap mongodb/brew.
Then you can run brew install mongodb-community#4.4 and it will install from the core homebrew tap, where the package now lives.
For me, this was linked to the homebrew core being missing as per https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/1512
steps: run the command
brew config
if you get
Core tap HEAD: (none) in the body, then likely you had the same issue as me. Run the command
brew tap homebrew/core
You can then go back to the installation steps
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
And everything should install correctly (it did for me anyway).
It seems like the mongosh formula that MongoDB Community 4.4 depends on was migrated from the mongodb/brew tap to the homebrew/core tap. You can try installing the mongosh formula from the homebrew/core tap first before installing MongoDB Community 4.4.
To do this, run the following command:
brew install mongosh
Then, try installing MongoDB Community 4.4 again using the following command:
brew install mongodb-community#4.4
This should install MongoDB Community 4.4 and any dependencies it requires, including the mongosh formula.
Not the latest version is 6.0. So you should use this command for it.
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
I was getting this same problem on my mac running Intel Processor.
I first run
rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)
then
brew tap homebrew/core
then
brew tap mongodb/brew
then installed it
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
This worked for me.
I used the following command to install mongodb:
my-MBP:~ user$ brew install mongodb:
and this was the output
Error: No available formula with the name "mongodb"
==> Searching for a previously deleted formula (in the last month)...
Error: No previously deleted formula found.
==> Searching for similarly named formulae...
These similarly named formulae were found:
mongodb/brew/mongodb-community mongodb/brew/mongodb-community#3.4
mongodb/brew/mongodb-community-shell mongodb/brew/mongodb-community#3.6
mongodb/brew/mongodb-community#3.2 mongodb/brew/mongodb-community#4.0
To install one of them, run (for example):
brew install mongodb/brew/mongodb-community
==> Searching taps...
==> Searching taps on GitHub...
Error: No formulae found in taps.
This same thing happens why i try to enter "brew install mongo." Is homebrew not installed properly? How specifically can I resolve this issue?**
I would follow the official installation guide, if you haven't already done so:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
https://github.com/mongodb/homebrew-brew
To install with brew, you must first:
brew tap mongodb/brew
Then,
brew install <mongodb>
For the input, mongodb doens't appear to be an option. It should be something like mongodb-community#4.2 as shown in the guides.
Hope this helps!
I've followed the directions on the MongoDB docs to install MongoDB on Mac using homebrew:
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community#4.0
Then I can run it in the foreground using:
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
But, when trying to start it as a service using:
brew services start mongodb-community#4.0
I get this error:
Error: mongodb-community: uninitialized constant #<Class:0x00007ff189061008>::Gem
I also get this error when running brew doctor:
Warning: Some installed formulae are not readable:
mongodb-community: uninitialized constant #<Class:0x00007ffd903152a0>::Gem
Why this is happening? How do I fix it?
Thank you!
This is an error with the mongodb-community formula. An issue has been filed with the maintainers, a solution found, and a pull request with the fix opened.
In the meantime, you can fix the error yourself. This line in the formula is throwing an exception:
Gem::Version.new(v['version'])
because the Gem class has not been imported. Adding the import:
require 'rubygems'
solves the problem. You can do this locally, by finding and editing the formula on your computer. It is probably in this file:
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/mongodb/homebrew-brew/Formula/mongodb-community.rb
Update: A community contributor has fixed this upstream. If you are still experiencing this issue you might need to run brew update
I know it's not correct answer since we are talking about registering service using:
brew services start mongodb-community
But I've SOLVED service registration question this way:
sudo cp /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb-community/4.0.9/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist /Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb-community.plist
launchctl start mongodb-community
