Edition. To install a different version of MongoDB Community.Windows service, you must manually start the MongoDB instance.
You can add C:Program FilesMongoDBServer4.4bin to your System PATH and then omit the full path to the MongoDB binaries. MongoDB, Mongo, and the leaf logo are registered trademarks of MongoDB, Inc. Open that and there under your user variables, you should also choose the path variable, edit this variable and then add a new entry here which is the path to the directory where you installed mongodb and there to the bin directory as well, so always to the directory where all these executables can be found in. In this lecture, youll get a detailed step-by-step guide on how that works. CRUD Operations, Indexes, Aggregation Framework - All about MongoDB. So lets take a break from the theory now and lets simply get started. Lets install mongodb locally for now and lets connect to it and see how we can work with it. For Mongo Db Download The MongodbNow mongodb runs on all operating systems, Mac, Linux, Windows, on all three operating systems, you can go to mongodb.com and on that page, click on get mongodb in the top right corner, that will allow you to download the mongodb installer and install it locally on your machine. For Mongo Db Free Community ServerNow there by default, it selected this atlas thing, that is something well dive into later in the course, for now lets use the free community server. Now the enterprise server would be your paid solution, we dont want to use that, well use the free one which gives us everything we need, the enterprise server just adds some enterprise level features like different kinds of authentication and encryption which we dont need here, so lets go with the community server and then there, choose your operating system in case its not pre-selected correctly. Now there, you can go with the default version that is installed and then you can click the download button, by the way also always check the installation instructions where you find a link to here if youre facing any issues. So now Ill download that and you dont need to sign up here, you can just wait for the download to start and once the download finished, you can on Mac and Linux simply extract that file that was downloaded, on Windows you can start the installer. Now if you have that installer, simply walk through the different steps there and choose custom when you have the chance for it. Now there you can leave the defaults as they are, I just want to inform you that on Windows, mongodb will be installed as a service as you can see here. Now you could uncheck this but this is fine, this is a little different to how it will then run on Mac and Linux but you can follow along, fine in both cases and I will of course show you how to connect to it in both scenarios. So simply click next and install and install it on windows in the destination you chose. Now the bin folder is the important folder, this has all the mongodb related executables, most of them youll not really need for this course but we will work with a couple of them to start our own mongodb server which then hosts our mongodb databases, well also use the one for importing data at some point in the course and we will use the shell client which is a client that allows us to connect to the mongodb database and run commands on it and on Windows, you get the same executables in your installation path by the way. Now with these files being placed in the path or in the place of your operating system where you want them, you should do something else on Mac and Linux, you should go to your root folder on your system and there, you should create a new folder named data and in that folder, create another new folder named db and you can do that on Windows too if you want. You dont need to but you should create that folder at some place in your operating system, it can be anywhere, doesnt have to be the root folder but it will be easier to follow along for the rest of the course if you use that but I will also show you how to start mongodb when you use a different folder or a different path. So create that data db folder if possible in your root folder of your Macbook, of your computer, of your laptop or create it in any other path, I will show you how to make it work with both. Now with that, start your terminal or on Windows, your command prompt and this is where well work in for the majority of this course because there, we can run all these important queries or commands to insert or to retrieve data but of course, I will also show you how to then apply the knowledge you gain in here in a real app, Ill actually do this in this first module already. Now in there, try running mongo and you should get a command, not found error. Now on Mac and Linux, you fix this by going into your user folder and then look for a bash profile file, if you dont have that file, you can simply create it,.bashprofile, you can then edit this with a text editor and in there, you need to change your so-called path variable or you need to enhance it or you need to append something to it. You do this by adding export, starting with a lowercase e, path equal and then use the path to the folder where you placed your mongodb binaries in, so in my case this is in here and you can simply right click on that item, on that executable and copy that path here if you want and move that path into here, starting with one slash and in my case its users, my user name, development, mongodb binary because that is the path I use to place mongodb in. Now important on Mac and Linux, to make sure that all your other commands work, you need to add a colon and then path at the end and then save your bash profile file. Now on Windows, you also need to set this and you do this with a so-called environment variable, so simply press the Windows key and type environment and you should be suggested this option of setting environment variables at some point.
