So I have ran mongod in first terminal window and get this

then when I open a new window and type mongo I am getting

By looking at the information provided from the first terminal where you ran mongod, the Mongo Server never started due to the /data/db directory being read-only. If you change the permissions on that directory, you should be fine.
Post back if you're still stuck.

Treehouse TeacherMarshall Bradley, what operating system are you using? You generally can "right-click" on that folder name and get access to a
permissionssetting. Sometimes you'll need to do it through the command line but that will depend on the system you're using, typically.
