Question: I’ve installed the mongo as part of a replicaset . The server is part of a 3 – node replicaset and I can manage through MongoDB Operations Manager.
But when i get onto the command line and type “mongo” , I’m getting the -bash: mongo: command not found.
How can I fix this issue – as I’d like to be able to have the command line option
Answer: Assuming everything is running as expected – the most likely reason is that the relevant mongo binaries are not in the /usr/bin folder. I’ve had this problem a few times and this is the way I’ve resolved it
Step 1>>>>>>>>
–Execute this command with a user account that has enough privileges
# ps -ef | grep mongo
–resultset similar to
mongod 3890 1 0 2019 ? 14:26:05 /var/lib/mongodb-mms-automation/mongodb-linux-x86_64-4.0.11-ent/bin/mongod -f /mydir1/mongodb/myrs/automation-mongod.conf
Step2>>>>>>>>
Note: BEFORE you run this command , ensure you’ve confirmed with your Linux administrator or MongoDB DBA
# cp /var/lib/mongodb-mms-automation/mongodb-linux-x86_64-4.0.11-ent/bin/* /usr/bin/
You should now be able to run the mongo command
