Install MongoDB Community Edition

• Download the MongoDB .zip file from the following link:
  MongoDB Download Center.

• You can create a configuration file to specify options for MongoDB. To do so, create a file named mongod.cfg in the \bin\ directory within the directory where you extracted the MongoDB files (< install directory>\bin\mongod.cfg). For more information on creating a config file, see

  
      systemLog:
           destination: file
           path: "D:\\doc\\it\\mo\\bin\\mongod.log"
           logAppend: true
      storage:
           dbPath: "D:\\doc\\it\\mo\\db"
      net:
           bindIp: localhost
           port: 27017
  
                              

• Open a Windows command prompt/interpreter (cmd.exe) as an Administrator.

  
     mongod.exe --dbpath="D:\doc\it\mo\db"
  
                              

  • The --dbpath option points to your database directory.

  To start MongoDB, run

  
    mongod.exe --config "D:\doc\it\mo\bin\mongod.cfg"  --install
  
                              

Install mongosh

• Download the mongosh .zip file from the following link:
  MongoDB Download Center.
  To confirm that mongosh installed successfully, open a command prompt and run the following command:

  mongosh --version
                              

  To connect to a MongoDB deployment running on localhost with default port 27017, run mongosh without any options:

  mongosh
                              

Create a MongoDB database using the CLI

• Use the show command to see all databases accessible in the cluster:
  

    mongosh> show dbs
    admin    40.00 KiB
    config   72.00 KiB
    local   112.00 KiB
    mongosh>
                              

  Please note, admin and local are databases belonging to each MongoDB cluster. To create a database, you first need to switch the context to a non-existent database using the use command:

    mongosh> use com
    switched to db com
    com>
                              

  Add a document to the database

  
     com> db.user.insertOne({nickname: "京京学堂", age:18})
   {
     acknowledged: true,
     insertedId: ObjectId('6aae91df9d2d04f924abc115')
   }
    com>
                              

  To find the current database, type the db command:

    com> db
    com
    com>
