Hi @Olubola_Morgan,

Looks like you are trying to connect to a localhost MongoDB Node but looks like you don’t have a mongod running on the port 27017 of your localhost.

Which tutorial are you following? Which kind of machine are you trying to install MongoDB to (Mac, Linux, Windows)?

Cheers,
Maxime.

If you are looking to learn MongoDB, check out the MongoDB University. These courses are free and produced directly by the education team in MongoDB and definitely up-to-date.
That’s the best source of training out there !

Cheers,
Maxime.

Olubola_Morgan:

Hi @Olubola_Morgan,

As an indication of how old the course you found must be, the --rest option has been deprecated since MongoDB 3.2 (Dec 2015) and removed since MongoDB 3.6 (Nov 2017).

I strongly second @MaBeuLux88_xxx’s recommendation on MongoDB University courses as the most direct path for structured learning about modern versions of MongoDB.

There are also some great developer articles, tutorials, and videos on the MongoDB Developer Hub and lots of suggestions and knowledge shared if you search, browse, or ask in the Community Forums.

Regards,
Stennie
