    ##Install MongoDB on macOS Sierra

    This procedure explains how to install [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org) using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) on macOS Sierra 10.12.
    Official MongoDB install documentation: [here](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/)



    ### Install Homebrew
    * Installing Homebrew is effortless, open Terminal and enter :
    `$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"`
    * **Note:** Homebrew will download and install Command Line Tools for Xcode 8.0 as part of the installation process.



    ### Install MongoDB
    At this time of writing, Homebrew has MongoDB version **3.2.10** as default formulae in its main repository :

    * Enter the following command : `$ brew info mongodb`
    * Expected output: **mongodb: stable 3.2.10 (bottled)**

    To install MongoDB enter : `$ brew install mongodb`


    ## Additional configuration
    ### Homebrew
    To load and start the MongoDB background service, open Terminal and execute the following commands :

    * Install **brew services** first : `$ brew tap homebrew/services`
    * Load and start the MongoDB service : `$ brew services start mongodb`.
    Expected output : **Successfully started `mongodb` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mongodb)**

    * Check of the MongoDB service has been loaded : `$ brew services list` <sup>[1](#1)</sup>

    * Verify the installed MongoDB instance : `$ mongod --version`.
    Expected output : **db version v3.2.10**
