I am new to MongoDB and could not able to understand what exactly is happening? Can you guide me?

Answer 1

This error is happening because you have not connected your MongoDB server. You have to open your MongoDB server:

mongod -dbpath “C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\data” 

Then you can perform your operations.  If you want to learn more about MongoDB then go through this MongoDB course for more insights.
