Windows: c:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4.7\bin\mongod

Mac: /usr/local/Cellar/mongodb/3.4.7/bin/mongod

Replacing the 3.4.7 with your version of Mongodb

Late to the party but it could help others : I installed mongodb 3.4.10 for Ubuntu 16.4

I found the mongo file to launch the shell at 

/usr/bin/mongo

I found it using the following commands 

sudo updatedb
locate -b '\mongo'
