The first thing that you want to do is download MongoDB. Go ahead and select whichever version of MongoDb suits your system.

If you get an error the most common reason is because you need to add a /data/db folder. On Windows this should get installed at the root of your C: drive. And here is where mine lives. And you can see all my databases.

Now in order to get mongoDB running you have to navigate to the path where mongodb was installed.

Then I'm going to copy the Path into my terminal so that I can navigate over and type the command 'mongod' - So its m o n g o D. And this is the command that will open up my mongodb connections.

So, whenever we're doing any kind of work within our application mongod has to be running.

Now with mongod running, I can access the mongodb shell. Remember you can only access this shell with mongoD. Now I open up another terminal and type the command mongo. m o n g o.

Ok, now I'm in the shell. If I type the command show dbs. It will display all the local databases you saw in my bin folder.

Remember, if you just installed MongoDB you should see nothing. As you don't haven't created any databases yet.
