Not even sure where to start. I am following the guide at:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-18-04
But when I get to Step 2, I enter sudo systemctl status mongodb and receive this result:
##################################

Hi @raphaelrashkin,
IF you try and start the mongodb, are there any errors generated or shown?
The command to start it should be
service mongodb start
or
systemctl start mongodb
If there aren’t any errors, then great, if there are, please do provide them here.
To see all the errors if starting fails, just type in
journalctl -xe
Looking forward to your next reply
Regards, KDSys
