Problem with Mongo DB using Mongoid Gem

Question

I'm developing on Ubuntu, I have installed the mongoid gem, and when I run the rails server, I get this error

/home/username/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/mongo-1.3.1/lib/mongo/connection.rb:518:in `connect': Failed to connect to a master node at localhost:27017 (Mongo::ConnectionFailure)

I remembered using a command like brew install but I am pretty clueless. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

You need to have MongoDB installed, too. Since you're on Ubuntu, try this:

sudo apt-get install mongodb

If you saw any brew commands in any instructions you were reading, those were likely for Homebrew on Mac OS X, not for Ubuntu.

other possibility you didnt start the server(which should auto-start usually)

mongod also has this weirdness

try to run sudo mongod in a foreground process and the messages should tell you how to recover
