mongod
I got the following error
** IMPORTANT: UPGRADE PROBLEM: The data files need to be fully upgraded to version 3.6 before attempting an upgrade to 4.0; see http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/4.0-upgrade-fcv for more details.
But if I use
brew services start mongodb
then mongo server can start.
To fix the mongod error
I found the similar error thread
Error while upgrading Mongodb from 3.2 to 3.6
So I downgraded to mongodb 3.6, and run
db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "3.6" } )
and then reinstall mongodb 4.0, I still have the same error when I run
mongodb
I still have to use
brew services start mongodb
to start mongodb
In command line, I run
> db.adminCommand( { getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 } )
{ "featureCompatibilityVersion" : { "version" : "3.6" }, "ok" : 1 }
>
It says featureCompatibilityVersion is 3.6
What else I need to do to satisfy "The data files need to be fully upgraded to version 3.6 "?
Thanks!

I need to downgrade MongoDB to 3.4. Clean up all the versions. Then upgrade to 3.6 and 4.0 step by step.
First of all, back up your /data/db, just in case.
The following steps are from my experience, I used brew to install/uninstall mongodb.
I followed the instruction from this thread, but run the following steps on iMac.
Error while upgrading Mongodb from 3.2 to 3.6
Uninstall your current mongodb
Install mongodb 3.4 version
Start mongod 3.4 version (when you install the old version like above, you need the full path to run it.)
Start mongo 3.4 version
Run the important command
Quit
Terminate the mongod
Uninstall mongodb 3.4
Repeat the above steps for 3.6
Install mongodb 3.6 version
Start mongod 3.6 version
Start mongo 3.6 version
Run the important command
...
Last, after uninstall 3.6, then you can install the most current version, 4.x, you don't have to specify the @4.x etc., just
Install the most current version
