If you are searching for the BEST and FREE MongoDB GUI tool, then you are at the right spot. In this post, we have listed down the best MONGODB GUI tools which you can use on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
You can run MongoDB as a macOS service using brew, or you can run MongoDB manually as a background process. It is recommended to run MongoDB as a macOS service, as doing so sets the correct system ulimit values automatically (see ulimit settings for more information). To run MongoDB (i.e. The mongod process) as a macOS service, issue the following. On MacOS X when you start a Terminal,.bashrc does not get executed. God knows why, as the shell opened should be an interactive non-login shell and therefor should execute.bashrc. Another, albeit more 'intrusive' solution would be to add the following to.bashprofile.
The default MongoDB software does not contain a GUI tool which allows you to administer and manage the Mongo Databases via a simple interface – instead, the official Mongo Database release only contains a shell which allows you to manage the Mongo databases and collections.
My experience with the Mongo Database was very good – I have installed and managed Mongo Databases on Windows and Linux environments, and from what I have seen – I could not see a big difference in the process of running and maintaining a Mongo Database. I was also able to develop a C# application which communicated with a MongoDB instance. So when it comes to picking a database for simple solutions, my preference is currently MongoDB.
The first and best MongoDB GUI tool for Windows is the RoboMongo tool which is still being developed.
The tool is already available for download and it works perfectly on a Windows environment. The GUI tool is straight forward and easy to use.
The best thing about the RoboMongo tool is the fact that it supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X – making it a cross-platform application which allows you to manage Mongo Databases with a graphical user interface.
Download RoboMongo
The RoboMongo GUI tool for MongoDB can be downloaded directly from the official website. The Windows versions are released as a windows installer (.exe) and as a .ZIP file. The MAC OS X installer is a .dmg file and the Linux files which are available are the .deb package for Debian/Ubuntu and the .rpm package for CentOS/RHEL.

Therefore, here we will use 400 (make sure it is not taken).
Please note, on OS X, by convention, all daemon users are prefixed with an underscore, such as
_daemon
.Before creating a user, we create a group choosing an unused group id:Once done, we create a new user (we use the same id as we did for the group) - no shell is needed for daemon users:
Finally, permissions:
Mac Mongodb Start
We can now open new terminal and test it works:
5. Create starting script
We can create a launchctl start script to start
mongod
automatically when starting OS X.Uninstall Mongodb Mac
