Answer 1

I figured it out myself. Here is the solution which I found out. I am using mac os on intel processor.

I first run

rm -fr $(brew --repo homebrew/core)

then

brew tap homebrew/core

then

brew tap mongodb/brew

then installed it

brew install [email protected]

This worked for me.

Thank you for this answer. I've been trying to install mongodb for over a month now, but all the tutorials I found were for earlier versions and required me to create a /data/db directory which is no longer allowed in current versions of macOS. I only had to run brew tap mongodb/brew and the install command though, without needing to delete the homebrew/core directory. – Hjerpe

For the latest version please check the MongoDB website and change the [email protected] to whatever latest version and replace 6.0 with the latest version number for e.g 6.2 or 6.2 ... – Proximate
