    # Installing Mongo on OSX with brew
    We'll need to update brew, install mongo, setup the location where data will be stored and know how to stop and start the DB.

    ## Get started:

    ```sh
    # update brew
    brew update

    # install mongo
    brew install mongo

    # create a directory to store data
    mkidr -p /data/db

    # if the above required sudo, use the following to make sure it has the right permissions
    sudo chown -R `whoami` /data/db

    ```

    this should have you setup and ready to go. To run mongo, we need to start the daemon with the following

    ```sh
    mongod
    ```
    this will have mongo up and running, use `crtl+c` to shut it down.
