Question

I just install mongodb, I want to run

show dbs

I got

    Command 'show' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install mailutils-mh  # version 1:3.7-2.1, or
sudo apt install mmh           # version 0.4-2
sudo apt install nmh           # version 1.7.1-6

I follow, one by one, sudo apt install: mmh, nmh, mailulits-mh

mongosh

3 - After you can use:

show dbs
