What have you tried: have installed from the official website of mongodb by downloading the .deb file.
What is the error: Mongodb service failed to start
What device is this on: Kali Linux
did you install .deb using apt? dpkg doesn’t consider dependencies and that might be your issue
Dude, Kali is not a distribution kit for a server or a home system. Kali’s narrative is the rapid deployment of a system with a bunch of pre-installed software. Use the latest stable Debian distribution

kali is based on debian testing . and some people use kali as their daily driver. linux is linux
used dpkg during installation
The usual way to install applications on Debian-based Linux distros is using apt. It will automatically install any required dependencies.
sudo apt search mongodb
gives results relating to mongodb.
On my system if I issue:
sudo apt install mongodb
It returns:
Installing:
mongodb
Installing dependencies:
libgoogle-perftools4t64 libtcmalloc-minimal4t64 mongo-tools mongodb-server
libstemmer0d libyaml-cpp0.8 mongodb-clients mongodb-server-core
Note it is automatically installing the server and the clients. I recommend using apt from now on, unless you have a specific need to do otherwise.
