Installing on macOS - ODBC Driver for MongoDB

Prerequisites

ODBC Driver for MongoDB works under control of an ODBC driver manager. ODBC driver manager is not distributed along with our driver and must be installed separately.

ODBC Driver for MongoDB is compatible with iODBC driver manager.

In case when using other ODBC driver managers, ODBC Driver for MongoDB will be installed, but it will require manual modification of configuration files of these managers.

2. Run the downloaded file and follow the instructions in the wizard.

Using Client Library with SIP enabled

When SIP is enabled on your machine, put the client library file in either of these directories and specify the path to the client library in the Client Library connection parameter.

• /Applications
• /Library
• /usr/local

If you place the client library in either of the following directories when SIP is enabled, the driver will not be able to access the library due to protection for these parts of the system by SIP.

• /System
• /usr
• /bin
• /sbin
• /var
• Apps that are pre-installed with OS X

If you would like to disable SIP on your system, follow the instructions. Read more about System Integrity Protection in macOS documentation.
