[jonsec]

last version of MongoDB in OpenBSD is 3.2.22 and this version is not compatible with OpenBSD.

MongoDB Console in OpenBSD OS Say :

NOTE: your operating system version does not support the method that MongoDB

Mongodb is available as a package for OpenBSD/amd64. The databases/mongodb port is marked $ONLY_FOR_ARCHS = amd64.

I cannot replicate your problem with the information provided. I can install the mongodb package, start the mongod daemon, and successfully connect to it with the mongo client without any additional provisioning, with these three commands:

$ doas pkg_add mongodb
$ doas rcctl -f start mongod
$ mongo

how i can build newer version of MongoDB in OpenBSD ?

Update the databases/mongodb port. At this time, there is no $MAINTAINER assigned and I do not see a work-in-progress port at jasperla@'s openbsd-wip Github repository. For guidance on updating the port, see the Porter's Handbook at https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/index.html.

Packages are built from ports. From the OpenBSD FAQ:

Then, from the Introduction to the Porter's Handbook:

• How to configure and build it
• How to test it (optional)
• How to install it

You asked:

If you have sufficient technical skills, you may be able to update the port. You may also need to update dependencies at the same time.
