i think you need to start your mongodb server - Harsh Virani

You need to start MongoDB server first to connect through Mongo Shell, to server you need to install mongodb server in your system

If you haven't installed mongodb server you can go through MongoDB Server Installation

After installation make sure you have /data/db directory if not run following command

sudo mkdir /data
sudo mkdir /data/db
sudo chmod 777 -R /data

Then you need to start mongodb server by,

sudo service mongod start

If it doesn't work than run following command,

sudo mongod

Now you can connect to mongodb using your mongo shell

mongo

Now you are connected!

it's sound like you have to run the mongodb server before try to connect:

bin/mongod is the server executable

bin/mongo is the client shell interface
