Unable to complete Mongo DB Shell installation in Mac OS

MongoDB University M001: MongoDB Basics
#1

I have placed the mongo db shell installation (extract folder) file inside the home directory.

below is my .bash_profile (which I created) set up looks like:
export PS1=’$ ’

export PATH="~/mongodb-macos-x86_64-enterprise-4.2.0/⁨bin:$PATH"⁩

I ran the below commands from Terminal
$ open -e .bash_profile

$ source ~/.bash_profile

$ echo $PATH

~/mongodb-macos-x86_64-enterprise-4.2.0/⁨bin:~/mongodb-macos-x86_64-enterprise-4.2.0/⁨bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin⁩⁩

$ mongo --nodb

-bash: mongo: command not found

Please advise on why I am getting command not found instead of mongo version. I restarted my system as well. but didn’t work.

Please check ls -la ~/.bash_profile
Your mongodb path is repeating in your output
Check our forum.Many threads available on setting PATH in macos

or try from command line
export PATH="~/your_mongodb_version/⁨bin:PATH"⁩ then source the .bash_profile or PS1=’ ’ don’t use quotes as suggested in some threads
