New to MongoDB Can not run command mongo

Question

I was trying to run MongoDB:

   E:\\mongo\\bin>mongod
    mongod --help for help and startup options
    Sun Nov 06 18:48:37
    Sun Nov 06 18:48:37 warning:          


        

Answer 1

The very simplest approach given by mongo README help file

RUNNING

For command line options invoke:

$ ./mongod --help

To run a single server database:

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db
$ ./mongod
$
$ # The mongo javascript shell connects to localhost and test database by default:
$ ./mongo
> help

If you are working with windows, go to your directory where you have mongo.exe

use the following commands, (I am sharing mine)

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin>mkdir \data

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin>mkdir \data\db

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin>mongod ## this will start your mongoDB server

Now you need to run another CMD prompt and go to the directory where you have mongo and just run it

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin>mongo ## this will start your mongoDB client

Hope it helped :)

If it doesn't work, run CMD as an administrator
