Step 3

$ sudo mongod

By default MongoDB stores its data files in /var/lib/mongo and its log files in /var/log/mongodb. You can specify different log and data file location by altering /etc/mongod.conf. (see screenshot in step 2).

Also If you switch user then you must modify the access control rights to the /var/lib/mongo and /var/log/mongodb directories to give this user access to these directories.

$ sudo chown <username> /path_to_new_directory/
