Mongodb – Can’t start mongodb server using ‘sudo service mongod start’

I'm trying to set up a dummy mongodb server on my local device so I can play around with it and make mistakes so that I can feel confident editing the actual server. I use the following code to start the mongodb server:

 sudo service mongod start

However executing sudo service mongod status outputs the following:

   ● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
       Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
       Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-08-29 15:46:44 ACST; 754ms ago

Tried adding sudo service mongod start --sslDisabledProtocols 'none' to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated
