MongoDb shuts down with Code 100

Question

I followed the MongoDb Docs to set up my first MongoDB,

When I start MongoDB using the command

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe

I get the following error

Answer 1

MongoDB shuts down with Code 100 in this case MongoDB needs a folder to store the database. Create a C:\data\db\ directory:

mkdir C:\data\db

and then start MongoDB:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe

Answer 2

You just need to create a directory with the help of the following command:

mkdir C:\data\db

and then start MongoDB:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe
