npm ci

here is the output

yes the terminal where i run mongod has this as last msg:

{“t”:{“$date”:“2022-08-07T13:58:41.885-04:00”},“s”:“I”, “c”:“STORAGE”, “id”:22430, “ctx”:“Checkpointer”,“msg”:“WiredTiger message”,“attr”:{“message”:“[1659895121:885481][40987:0x7f1400e4e640], WT_SESSION.checkpoint: [WT_VERB_CHECKPOINT_PROGRESS] saving checkpoint snapshot min: 58, snapshot max: 58 snapshot count: 0, oldest timestamp: (0, 0) , meta checkpoint timestamp: (0, 0) base write gen: 10”}}

I’ve also checked if the service is listening on the correct port:

➜ freeCodeCamp git:(main) sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN | grep mongod

mongod 40987 root 11u IPv4 190335 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:27017 (LISTEN)

issue was related to wrongful node version, moving to 16+ solved the issue
