How to start mongo shell?

Question

MongoDB

I am using ubuntu 14.10. Installed mongo 3.0.2.
I try to start the shell with the "mongo" command, to which I get the answer:

MongoDB shell version: 3.0.2
connecting to: test
2015-04-20T01:09:39.216+0300 W NETWORK  Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017, reason: errno:111 Connection refused

First, make sure you have the Mongo server running at all. Just try to telnet to port 27017.
