$ brew tap mongodb/brew
$ brew install mongodb-community@4.4

Default Paths for the mongodb-community Formula

In addition to installing the MongoDB server and tool binaries, the mongodb-community formula creates:

• a configuration file: /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf
• a log directory path: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb
• a data directory path: /usr/local/var/mongodb

Run mongod as a service

To have launchd start mongod immediately and also restart at login, use:

$ brew services start mongodb-community

If you manage mongod as a service it will use the default paths listed above. To stop the server instance use:

$ brew services stop mongodb-community
