MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that is known for its flexibility and scalability. It is widely used in modern web applications and is a great choice for storing and managing large volumes of data. In this article, we will walk you through the process of installing MongoDB on a Windows system.

Step 1: Download the MongoDB Installer​

The first step is to download the MongoDB installer from the official MongoDB website. You can find the installer at the following URL: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community

Step 2: Run the MongoDB Installer​

Once the installer has been downloaded, you can run it to start the installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You can choose the "Complete" setup type to install all the MongoDB tools, including the MongoDB shell (mongosh).

Step 3: Add MongoDB to the System Path​

After the installation is complete, you need to add the MongoDB binaries to your system's PATH environment variable. This will allow you to run MongoDB and mongosh commands from any directory in your terminal.

To add MongoDB to the system PATH, follow these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel and navigate to "System and Security" > "System" > "Advanced system settings".
2. In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
3. In the Environment Variables window, select the "Path" variable under "System variables" and click the "Edit" button.
4. Click the "New" button and add the path to the "bin" directory of your MongoDB installation (e.g., C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin).
5. Click "OK" to save the changes and close the Environment Variables window.
6. Click "OK" again to close the System Properties window.
7. Restart your terminal to apply the changes.
8. You can now run MongoDB and mongosh commands from any directory in your terminal.
9. To verify that MongoDB and mongosh are installed correctly, you can run the following commands in your terminal:

mongod --version
mongosh --version

Step 4: Start the MongoDB Service​

To start the MongoDB service, you can run the following command in your terminal:

mongod

This will start the MongoDB server on your local machine. You can now connect to the MongoDB server using the mongosh shell.

Step 5: Connect to the MongoDB Server​

To connect to the MongoDB server, you can run the following command in your terminal:

mongosh

This will open the mongosh shell, and you can start interacting with the MongoDB server using JavaScript-like syntax.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed MongoDB and mongosh on your Windows system. You are now ready to start building powerful applications with MongoDB as your database. Happy coding!

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that is known for its flexibility and scalability. It is widely used in modern web applications and is a great choice for storing and managing large volumes of data. In this article, we will walk you through the process of installing MongoDB on a Linux system, specifically Debian Bullseye.

Step 1: Import the MongoDB GPG Key​

The first step is to import the MongoDB GPG key, which is used to verify the authenticity of the MongoDB packages. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Step 2: Create a MongoDB Source List File​

Next, you need to create a source list file for MongoDB. You can do this by running the following command:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian bullseye/mongodb-org/5.0 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list

Step 3: Update the Package Database​

After creating the source list file, you need to update the package database to include the MongoDB repository. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt update

Step 4: Install MongoDB​

Now that the MongoDB repository has been added to your package database, you can install MongoDB by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y mongodb-org

Step 5: Start the MongoDB Service​

Once MongoDB is installed, you can start the MongoDB service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mongod

You can also enable the MongoDB service to start automatically at boot time by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable mongod

Step 6: Verify the MongoDB Installation​

To verify that MongoDB has been installed successfully, you can run the following command to check the status of the MongoDB service:

sudo systemctl status mongod

You should see output indicating that the MongoDB service is active and running.

Step 7: Install mongosh​

Finally, you can install mongosh, the official MongoDB shell, by running the following command:

sudo apt install -y mongosh

Conclusion​

Congratulations! You have successfully installed MongoDB and mongosh on your Debian Bullseye system. You can now start using MongoDB to store and manage your data. If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to consult the official MongoDB documentation. Happy coding!
