New to MongoDB Can not run command mongo


After installing the MongoDB you should manually create a data folder.

By default MongoDB will store data in /data/db, but it won't automatically create that directory. To create it, do:$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db/$ sudo chown `id -u` /data/dbYou can also tell MongoDB to use a different data directory,with the --dbpath option.

For more detailed information go to MongoDB wiki page.


I think your log output states it clearly;

exception in initAndListen: 10296 dbpath (/data/db) does not exist, terminating

You may simply create this directory or better to define it as a configuration value within your configuration file then use it as mongod -f C:\path\to\your\mongodb.conf.


Specify the database path explicitly like so, and see if that resolves the issue.

mongod --dbpath data/db
