Hello, everyone, I'm back with Om Duck, until today, Om Duck, when I install it on Mac M1, I still feel really confused, I even looked for tutorials. I don't know if it's just the ducklings or something else, how come installing it on M1 is a bit complicated, isn't it? ah but maybe it's because it's not normal.

So, this time, Om Bewok wants to share with you how to install mongodb on the Macbook M1, why share this? because maybe there were people like uncle duck too who at that time were confused about how to install mongodb and were confused about how to set the path. 

I'm sure what you're confused about is the path, isn't it? Installing it in Brew is easy, right now, in the path section, sometimes it makes me annoying.

Okay, no need to linger any longer, let's start with how to install mongodb on an Apple Macbook M1.

You guys have to open this https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/

Open your terminal then type below:

• $ xcode-select --install

What's the function? for the requirements when we use brew, you have to install this first, maybe the law is mandatory x, kwkwk...

Oh yes, in this tutorial, uncle bewok, install mongodb via brew, actually there are many ways, but according to uncle, the easiest way is to use this brew, just copy and paste it in the terminal kwkwk..

DO YOU CONTINUE?

It's time for us to install brew by typing as below.

• $ brew tap mongodb/brew

Next, we type this

• $ brew update

So, because Om Bewok wants the free one, let's just use the community one, right now it's MongoDB that we want to download version 6.0, so maybe every year it will be different, it's up to you whether you want to follow Om Bewok or look for the newest Mongodb. 

If you want to see the latest version, you can search on https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/.

NOW, WHEN WE INSTALL MONGODB, we type it as below.

• $ brew install mongodb-community@6.0

It's a bit long, so you can watch YouTube first or scroll through Tiktok, too.

When it's finished, let's set the path, but before that we have to know where we put the path, so we type it like below

• $ ls -la

So there must be a lot of them, so let's focus on these 3 files which are the most crucial in the world of perpaths

• . bashrc
• .bash_profile
• .zshrc

We install all three, how do we do it? we use what is called a text editor, you can use vim or nano.

free up to you. Oh, the bewok here uses Vim, right?

We type in the terminal below

• $ vim ./bashrc

then type this

• export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community@6.0/bin

How to right click then paste, to save it type

1. esc

2. :wq

3. enter

In section 6.0, you can change the version that you installed, but if you are the same as Uncle Duck, just paste it, hohoho...

Next in the ./bash_profile section

We type in the terminal below

$ vim ./bash_profile

Then input: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community@6.0/bin

How to right click then paste, to save it type

1. esc

2. :wq

3. enter

Next, if you install iTerm2, we have to put the path in ./zshrc

We type in the terminal as below

$ vim ./zshrc

Then input

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community@6.0/bin

How to right click then paste, to save it type

1. esc

2. :wq

3. enter

Okay, if you have exited your terminal, then reopened it, then you can open the terminal.

Then you type

$ brew services start mongodb-community@6.0

Next we check whether our mongodb is already installed in the path

$mongosh --version

1.6.0

Next type

• $mongosh

If you have a picture like the one below.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed mongodb. If you're still confused, you can ask in the comments, or if you can, you can give a test, kwkwkw...
