Hi,
I’m using MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 & am installing mongodb-community@8.0 with BREW. When I try to run MONGOSH I get an error:

MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017

Terminal code snippet below. Does anyone have a list of steps to resolve? Thanks!

SA2020 ~ % brew services start mongodb-community@8.0
