Solution: zsh: command not found: mongod

If Homebrew is not installed, install it. After completion of Homebrew installation, Add MongoDB to Homebrew’s list of packages by using the following command.

brew tap mongodb/brew

Install the latest version of MongoDB with the following command.

Now check with the command mongod in the command prompt. Now it won’t show the error message as command not found.
