We're going to use homebrew, if you don't like homebrew
0:04
you can actually download a tarball and unzip it and set up all the stuff
0:07
but homebrew is much better on a couple of levels,
0:11
so make sure you have homebrew and that you update it,
0:14
and then to install, we're just going to install homebrew
0:17
and then we just brew install MongoDB,
0:19
wait about 20 seconds for it to do its magic,
0:22
we're going to start up MongoDB, there's two ways to do that
0:24
we could say brew services start monogodb
0:27
and that will actually register it as a system service
0:30
that starts every time you log in;
0:32
if you don't want to do that, you don't want to start it this way, it's fine
0:34
you can say mongodb--config and point at the config file.
0:38
If you want to make any changes, well, there's the config file
0:40
you can just edit that with whatever editor you like,
0:43
and you can change the security, you can change the ports,
0:46
whatever you want to change about MongoDB
0:48
just change this file, and stop and then start the service,
0:52
or just cancel out running this mongod command, and then run it again.
0:56
Final thing is, if you brew service start mongodb
0:59
and it's going to continue to autostart, if for some reason you want it to stop,
1:02
I believe it makes a file, a plist file, and it puts it in your home directory
1:07
for your user account in /library/launch/agents/ something involving mongodb,
1:13
so you can just delete that file I believe and that will stop it.
