I setup mongodb on ubuntu 16.04 with:
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian wheezy/mongodb-org/3.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
But I get these error when i try to start the service:
**~$** systemctl start mongodb
Failed to start mongodb.service: Unit mongodb.service is masked.
**~$** systemctl start mongod
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.
**~$** sudo service mongod start
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.
**~$** mongod
mongod --help for help and startup options

I previously worked on c9 but it has so much problems and is slow, I need mongodb for working on my projects (sorry for my bad englis)
Somewhere in the error message it says "dbpath (/data/db) does not exist". "/data/db" is the default directory in which mongodb stores its data files. You have to create it manually. It seems this path does not exist.
If you want to change this path, either pass --dbpath parameter to mongod or change the dbpath parameter value in mongodb.conf file.
