macos - Installing MongoDB with Homebrew

Question

I'm relatively new to MongoDB and am trying to install MongoDB on my Mac with Homebrew, but I'm getting the following error:

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.

I ran brew update Then brew install mongodb

Answer 1

Formula mongodb has been removed from homebrew-core. Check pr-43770 from homebrew-core

To our users: if you came here because mongodb stopped working for you, we have removed it from the Homebrew core formulas since it was migrated to a non open-source license.

Fortunately, the team of mongodb is maintaining a custom Homebrew tap. You can uninstall the old mongodb and reinstall the new one from the new tap.

# If you still have the old mongodb installed from homebrew-core
brew services stop mongodb
brew uninstall homebrew/core/mongodb

# Use the migrated distribution from custom tap
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community
brew services start mongodb-community

Check mongodb/homebrew-brew for more info.
