when I do the mongod step, I find something different: BadValue: Invalid value for version, found 4.2, expected '4.0' or '3.6'. And it exits automatically with shutting down with code:62. I do the rest of the things like 'brew services start mongo' and it seems like I can run mongo in the command line but when I run node I receive a 'Failed to set up listener: SocketException: Address already in use' and 'shutting down with code:48' could you tell me what should I do now?

[@saurabhsindhu7852]

If you're on macOS Catalina, there has been a hidden change in the operating system. You're NOT able to use /data/db as a database folder anymore. Instead, you have to use a non-root path (e.g. ~/data/db).

Should i buy an imac for programming or MacBook??

[@siddhantkumar7036]

Mac mini is the cheapest way towards get into mac world but you need to buy a monitor separately. If you already have a monitor then you can get a mac mini but if you don't have one then go for a macbook. Also you need to have a mouse and a keyboard which will cost you money. Choose wisely. Tip: check on ebay for some refurbished or used mac minis. You'll get one cheaper.
