Hi Manan,

Generally the error message “Connection refused” indicates that there are no MongoDB servers reachable given your connection options.

First ensure that there is a MongoDB server running locally. Another possibility is that you’re running mongod with —bind_ip flag. If this is the case, you can try connecting using mongo shell as below:

mongo --host $IP --port 27017

completed all the steps for installing

Which installation tutorial did you follow?
Please note that MongoDB 2.6 has reached its end of life on October 2016. For general enhancements and bug fixes I would recommend to use the latest stable version of MongoDB v3.6. Please follow the installation instructions on Install MongoDB on Linux.
