This chapter describes how to install MongoDB on a Mac OS X. MongoDB support OS X versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on Intel x86-64 and later.
Download the latest version of MongoDB from the MongoDB Downloads Page.
Open a terminal window and go to the directory where you downloaded the archive. Extract the contects of the archive using tar command.
tar xvf mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.6.0.tgz
The contents are extracted to a newly created directory, in the above example it will be mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.6.0
Create directory /data/db which will hold all the data and set the permissions.
mkdir -p /data/db chmod 777 /data/db
Change directory to location where you extracted the MongoDB files. Change to bin directory and run mongod
./mongod
This will start up MongoDB and it will be listening to client connections on port 27017 by default.
