What is the correct way to start a mongod service on linux / OS X?

by

Edit: you should now use brew services start mongodb, as in Gergo’s answer…

When you install/upgrade mongodb, brew will tell you what to do:

To have launchd start mongodb at login:

    ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mongodb/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then to load mongodb now:

    launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist

Or, if you don’t want/need launchctl, you can just run:

    mongod

It works perfectly.
