How to install mongoDB on windows?

Question

I am trying to test out mongoDB and see if it is anything for me. I downloaded the 32bit windows version, but have no idea on how to continue from now on.

I normally use the WAMP services for developing on my local computer. Can I run mongoDB on Wamp?

However, what's the best (easiest) way to make it work on windows?

Thanks!

Answer 1

To install mongoDB you need to start mongoDB database with command after a directory has been created C:/database_mongo

mongod --dbpath=C:/database_mongo/

You can then connect to mongodb using commands.

• Download the zip file http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

• Extract the zip file and copy the files into your desired location.

• Then start the DB engine.

• At last, test the installation and use it.
