Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found
Please follow the below steps, it should work.
1 - Uninstall current installation completely
Source - official instructions
sudo service mongod stop
Remove Packages
sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*
Remove the folders
sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb
2 - Reinstall as described on official site, I will just write down the all steps. enter link description here
Import the public key
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5
Create a list file for Ubuntu 16.04
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list
update the list
sudo apt-get update
Install the latest package
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
3 - Now it should work, please try below command
sudo service mongod start
and check the status
mongo
it should appear the mongo shell
Most probably unit mongodb.service is masked. Use following command to unmask it.
sudo systemctl unmask mongod
and re-run
sudo service mongod start
You are missing a 'b' I think?
sudo service mongod start
should be
sudo service mongodb start
I think this is the case?
