Start Process

My system uses systemd to manage processes. However, if you are not aware which your system uses run ps --no-headers -o comm 1 and that should tell you which to use.

1. Start MongoDB

sudo systemctl start mongod

2. Verify Success

sudo systemctl status mongod

2. a. If you want mongo to start after reboot: sudo systemctl enable mongod
