Welcome to the MongoDB community @ketan_k !

Can you provide some more details on your environment:

version of MongoDB server installed
your O/S version

If you are installing MongoDB 6.0 or newer, the legacy mongo shell is no longer included. Depending on your O/S and install options you may have mongosh (the new MongoDB shell) and/or MongoDB Compass (an admin GUI including an embedded version of mongosh).

You can also Download MongoDB Tools from the MongoDB Download Centre if they are not already installed.

Regards,
Stennie

Installation issue for mongodb 6 Installation & Upgrades

I used the following link to install mongodb on my system Ubuntu 20.04 LTS focal. After installation, I ran “mongo” commad and got the following: Command 'mongo' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install mongodb-clients I checked this “whereis mongo”. And the result was empty. I also noticed that the folder “mongo” is missing in /usr/bin. Please help. Have already wasted 2 hour in this. How do I fix this?

Same issue here, using VS Code and wants to connect to the mongo shell. Unable to find mongosh.exe in version 6.0. These are files I could find in the “bin” folder:

Hi @DEEPAK_KUMAR12,

You can open the InstallCompass.ps1 PowerShell script to install MongoDB Compass (which includes an embedded version of mongosh, the new MongoDB Shell) or download the MongoDB Shell from the the MongoDB Download Center: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell

@SAURAV_KUMAR The referenced issue is a similar problem (the legacy mongo shell is no longer included with MongoDB 6.0) for a different O/S environment. Per Install MongoDB Community Edition on Ubuntu, there is a mongodb-mongosh Ubuntu package for the new MongoDB shell.
