I installed mongodb on my own mac computer. When setting the file, I entered the password, as shown in the figure.

Question

Password cannot be entered, there is no response when typing letters,
What is going on

I followed the tutorial several times but still can’t install it

Answer 1

You may be entering your password for the first time. This is because the password is not visible to the outside world. You can just enter it and then enter, but it is not visible...

Answer 2

1. sudo is the system's command to install software. Due to the sudo settings, you need to enter a password when executing sudo.

2. When entering a password on a Linux series operating system, there is no response * or specific input. This is a security mechanism of Linux that prevents others from seeing the specific number of digits of the password.

3. You do not need to use sudo when executing mkdir.

Answer 3

Sudo needs to provide the user password for privilege escalation. In fact, it has been entered, but it is not displayed. Just hit Enter and it will be fine.

Answer 4

The password is like this, it will not be displayed, but it has actually been entered. Just hit enter after typing.

The password is required because you used sudo 命令。你可以试试不要 sudo 直接 mkdir /data/db. Anyway, on your own machine, the person logged in should also be the administrator user.

Answer 5

Just hit enter after typing. The password will not be displayed.,,
