Unable to run MongoDB Community v6.1 after installation on Apple Silicon Mac-CodePudding

I have Mac with an Apple Silicon Chip running Monterey 12.6 and I'm trying to install MongoDB community v6.1 on it by following the steps laid out in these docs. https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/

After completing all the steps in the installation, I am trying to run MongoDB as a background process (using the command mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf --fork), but rather than seeing a message saying it is waiting for connections on port 27017, instead I see the following error message.

about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 16461
ERROR: child process failed, exited with 100
To see additional information in this output, start without the "--fork" option.

Has anyone seen this before and discovered how to fix it? I have completed all the previous steps in the installation from the docs linked above.

Thanks

UPDATE: I was able to view the output to the log file. I am pasting it below. Hopefully this provides more context. It looks like Mongo is trying to create a file in a read only directory.
