Late to the party, but this might help others: I installed mongodb 3.4.10 for Ubuntu 16.4

I found a mongo file to start a shell in

/usr/bin/mongo

I found it using the following commands

sudo updatedb
locate -b '\mongo'

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

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

Replacing 3.4.7 with your Mongodb version

Use the command which mongo

to find the location of the mongo executable.
