Before diving into the solution, we will first try to understand what the Brew is, mongodb-community and why it is needed.

Anyone familiar with the command line will find it exceedingly easy and simple.

Modern apps frequently use the free, open-source MongoDB Community Edition database as their database of choice. It is a distributed document-based database that makes use of cloud computing.

Even though this may be the most affordable option to get started with MongoDB, it provides a variety of remarkable advantages and capabilities.

  1. Update the brew - Make sure you have the latest version of the brew installed by running:

    brew update
    
  2. Upgrade the MongoDB community - On your laptop, open the terminal and run the following command.

    brew upgrade mongodb-community
    
  3. Check your MongoDB version

    mongo --version
    

This will install MongoDB with the latest version.
