How to import data into mongoDB

Question

I\'m trying to import a large data file in JSON format . I\'m using

mongoimport --db verbs --collection de --file \"/Users/marcelbraasch/Downloads/de.json\"

Answer 1

Found the answer here. This missing keyword was authenticationDatabase. The command that worked for me was:

mongoimport --db verbs --collection de --authenticationDatabase admin --username user --password password --drop --file /Users/myname/Downloads/de.json.
