Installing MongoDB with Homebrew on MAC
- 29 May, 2020
When i execute brew install mongodb the error message above appears :
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.
How i solve this problem:
The formula mongodb has been removed from homebrew-core. So i need to use a custom tap made by mongodb team
I used the following commands
brew update
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
sudo mkdir /data/db
chmod -Rv
Now i can run mongod to start the server or if you want you can use brew services start mongodb-community
