Hi there,

It seems like you’ve only installed the MongoDB server and not the client CLI.

For Ubuntu, you can do that with:

sudo apt install mongodb-org-shell

Then the mongo command should be available as normal.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby

Try mongosh to open shell in the latest versions of mongoDb. After starting mongodb server with mongo you have to run mongosh command to open mongodb shell it will open the shell in

test

db by default you can change it with using use <dbName> command.
