Let us now see how to install MongoDB on Windows.

Install MongoDB On Windows


To install MongoDB on Windows, first download the latest release of MongoDB from
https://www.mongodb.org/downloads . Make sure you get correct version of MongoDB
depending upon your Windows version. To get your Windows version, open command
prompt and execute the following command.

C:\>wmic os get osarchitecture


OSArchitecture
64-bit
C:\>

32-bit versions of MongoDB only support databases smaller than 2GB and suitable only for
testing and evaluation purposes.

Now extract your downloaded file to c:\ drive or any other location. Make sure the name of
the extracted folder is mongodb-win32-i386-[version] or mongodb-win32-x86_64-
[version]. Here [version] is the version of MongoDB download.

Next, open the command prompt and run the following command.

C:\>move mongodb-win64-* mongodb


1 dir(s) moved.
C:\>

In case you have extracted the MongoDB at different location, then go to that path by
using command cd FOOLDER/DIR and now run the above given process.

MongoDB requires a data folder to store its files. The default location for the MongoDB
data directory is c:\data\db. So you need to create this folder using the Command Prompt.
Execute the following command sequence.

C:\>md data
C:\md data\db

If you have to install the MongoDB at a different location, then you need to specify an
alternate path for \data\db by setting the path dbpath in mongod.exe. For the same,
issue the following commands.

In the command prompt, navigate to the bin directory present in the MongoDB installation
folder. Suppose my installation folder is D:\set up\mongodb

C:\Users\XYZ>d:
D:\>cd "set up"
D:\set up>cd mongodb
D:\set up\mongodb>cd bin
D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongod.exe --dbpath "d:\set up\mongodb\data"

This will show waiting for connections message on the console output, which indicates
that the mongod.exe process is running successfully.

Now to run the MongoDB, you need to open another command prompt and issue the
following command.

D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.6
connecting to: test
>db.test.save( { a: 1 } )
>db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId(5879b0f65a56a454), "a" : 1 }
>

This will show that MongoDB is installed and run successfully. Next time when you run
MongoDB, you need to issue only commands.

D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongod.exe --dbpath "d:\set up\mongodb\data"


D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe

Install MongoDB on Ubuntu


Run the following command to import the MongoDB public GPG key −

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB10

Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list file using the following command.

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen'


| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
