MongoDB Installation and Configuration

I am using Windows 10 so I will give the instructions for Windows.

1. Go to this site and download MongoDB for your OS version.
2. MongoDB is installed at C:\Program Files\MongoDB by default. In the C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server{version_number}\bin folder there are two executables: mongod and mongo.
3. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables and edit Path variable and add C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server{version_number}\bin to that. This change enables MongoDB access from anywhere on your machine.
4. MongoDB’s default directory for data storage is /data/db. Create these directories in your C drive.
5. Open a command prompt and run the following command.

mongod

6. Open a new command prompt and run the below command:

mongo

We will run all our mongo shell methods in this command shell. 7. Run the following command:

use CarGalleryDb

This command creates the database if it does not exist. If it exists, its connection is opened for transactions. 8. Create a Cars collection using the following command:

db.createCollection('Cars')

Now, our database and collection are ready. We can perform CRUD operations on the Cars collection.
