Unable to create new user in MongoDB

I have installed mongodb as per this guide

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-14-04

However I have no idea how to fetch the admin user/pass or even create it.

db.createUser { user: "username",pwd: "monkey123",roles: [{ role: "readWrite", db: "0" } ]}

and get

2015-11-19T14:18:52.867-0500 E QUERY    SyntaxError: Unexpected token      {

I follow the mongo docs and get this also 

TypeError: Property 'addUser' of object 0 is not a function

All I want is to get the admin user/pass or make my own user so I can connect the nodebb forum app to mongodb.
