How can solve this?

Please make a folder named "data" and inside it make another folder named "db" in c drive. then run the command. as it is finding the "Data directory" — DevProf

In the default configuration, mongodb uses /data/db directory for storing its database files.

This shows that the directory does not exist, so you have to create it.

Try:

sudo mkdir /data
sudo mkdir /data/db
sudo mkdir /data/logs

I'm not sure if the last command will be needed, but just fire it to be safe.

An alternative to this would be to find the mongo config file (I don't know where it is on macOs) and then change the /data/db path inside it to your desired location that exists.
