Title: MongoDB Installation Error: SHA256 Mismatch
Description:
I encountered an error while trying to install MongoDB using Homebrew on my macOS system. The error message I received was "mongodb-community: SHA256 mismatch." I managed to resolve the issue using the following steps. I'm sharing this solution to help others who might face the same problem.
Steps:
Open a Terminal Window:
Open a terminal window on your macOS system. You can do this by using the Terminal application or pressing Command + Space and then typing "Terminal" to search for it.
Open a New Terminal Tab:
To run the commands concurrently, open a new terminal tab. You can do this by pressing Command + T.
Edit MongoDB Database Tools Formula:
In the new terminal tab, run the command brew edit mongodb-database-tools. This will open the formula for editing.
Enter Edit Mode:
Press i on your keyboard to enter insert/edit mode in the terminal. You'll see that you can now modify the text.
Replace the SHA256 Key:
Find the section of the formula where the SHA256 key is specified. Copy the actual SHA256 key from the error message or the formula and replace the existing SHA256 key with it.
Save and Exit:
After replacing the SHA256 key, press Esc to exit the insert mode. Then, type :wq and press Enter to save the changes and exit the editing mode.
Install MongoDB Community:
Now, you can go back to your original terminal window and run the command brew install mongodb-community.
Verify Installation:
After the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running mongo --version in the terminal. You should see the version information of MongoDB.
By following these steps, I was able to resolve the "SHA256 mismatch" error and successfully install MongoDB using Homebrew. I hope this solution helps others who might encounter the same issue.
