Mongodb Environmental Setup - MongoDB Tutorial

In this article, we are going to talk about mongoDB environmental setup. It involves the following:

Step 1 :

Check out the below path in your machine. If you don’t have the path, you have to create the folder as such to store mongoDB databases. C:\test\mongodb\data\db

Goto the command prompt and type the directory path of mongoDB using “cd” command “C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin”
Then enter data store path. Later, execute the mongod.exe waiting for the network configuration port.

cd\
cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin
mongod.exe --dbpath C:test\mongodb\data

mongod.exe is the build of the MongoDB daemon (i.e. mongod) for the Windows platform.
mongod.exe has all the features of mongod on Unix-like platforms and is completely compatible with the other builds of mongod.
In addition, mongod.exe provides several options for interacting with the Windows platform itself.

If you want to Start the MongoDB service give the following command in the command prompt.

net start MongoDB

If you want to Stop the MongoDB servicegive the below command in the command terminal.

net stop MongoDB

Or, if you want to remove the MongoDB service, use the following command as administrator.

"C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe" --remove

MongoDB daemon executable provides support for the installation of services using few command line parameters without using additional components.

–install : Command line switch to install the service
