RFE: Install mongosh #86

Closed FGasper closed 7 months ago

FGasper commented 1 year ago

I expected this tool to install mongosh along with mongod & mongos, but that’s not what happens. The tools also don’t include the shell.

I can install it via other ways, but it’d be nice if this tool offered it, too.

Thanks for considering!

Hi @FGasper,

mongosh isn't included with the tarball/zip downloads used by m, so would have to be fetched separately. This is a reasonable enhancement suggestion, but will require some testing to confirm url patterns.

Since mongosh works across all supported versions of MongoDB server, you could also install the binary once via alternative means and use this to connect to any of your deployments.

Regards, Stennie

Adding cross-platform installation support for mongosh seems overly involved given the dependency on Node.js.

However, I've added #95 as a convenience for macOS users since there is a brew package available.
