Adding this to package.json & reinstalling mongodb-memory-server fixes my issue.

"config": {
    "mongodbMemoryServer": {
      "version": "latest"
    }
  },

if I try the above I get this:

failed to download/install MongoDB binaries. The error: TypeError: Invalid Version: latest

@ekelvin please open an new issue, detailing what system you are on

For me, "latest" did not work, the latest current version "4.4.1" worked:

  "config": {
    "mongodbMemoryServer": {
      "version": "4.4.1"
    }
  }

Make sure that the link be created by MongoDownloadURL has the correct arch set up.

in my case it was trying to download the 1386 arch when I was actually running a x64 arch.
You can change the arch by

"config": { "mongodbMemoryServer": { "debug": "1", "arch": "x64" } },

@tcanbolat if it thinks its i386, then it probably means the 32bit version of nodejs is installed
