1. Download mongodb for
win7 from MongoDB official website
https://www.mongodb.com/
This is as simple as any .exe installation . Just remember in which drive you are installing
3. Check installed directory
4.Create "data/db" empty folder in same drive where you installed Mongo. In my case its C:
i.e "C:/data/db".
i.e "C:/data/db".
- Reason: MongoDB stores temp,DB related files in this folder. It will throgh error message if it dint find these folders.
- Temp/DB Files? : Yes! it stores some mongoDB related files. For ex : if I create "Student DB" and in that I create some collections. Then two files will be generated in "C:/data/db" . i.e student.0 and student.ns.
- Comparing RDBMS terminology with NoSQL DB/Unstructured DB (MongoDB).
Data Base : Data Base.
Tables : Collections.
Rows & Columns : Documents/Records.
5. Run MongoDB server
You have to start MongoDB server before performing any DB operation. This is same as any other relational DB . That is if you are using Oracle DB , then Oracle DB must be running then you can connect to it by using terminal (SQL+) or any sql editior (SQL Developer).
- Open new command prompt : Type "cmd" in Run prompt.
- change path to installed directory . i.e "cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin".
- type "mongodb" and press enter
Once you see the control stops displaying any logger and without any error message it means MongoDB is started.
Note : Dont close this window. If you close then server will stops running.
6. Opening MongoDB prompt/Shell to perform DB operation
- Open new command prompt : Type "cmd" in Run prompt.
- change path to installed directory . i.e "cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin".
- type "mongo" and press enter
Thats All..! You are done with instalation and opening Mongo Shell.
