Steps to Download, Install & Setting up MongoDB

Setting up MongoDB involves several steps, from downloading the installation


package to configuring and starting the MongoDB service. The process might
slightly vary depending on your operating system (Windows, macOS, or
Linux). Here's a brief overview of the steps involved for a general setup:

1. Download MongoDB

- For Windows or macOS Users:


- Go to the official MongoDB website
(https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community) and choose the
Community Server edition.
- Select the version that matches your operating system and download the
installer.

- For Linux Users:


- MongoDB provides packages for various Linux distributions. The MongoDB
documentation offers specific instructions for different distributions (like
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc.).
- Typically, you'll add the MongoDB repository to your system and install the
MongoDB packages through your distribution's package manager (e.g., apt
for Ubuntu, yum for CentOS).

2. Install MongoDB

Windows:
- Run the MongoDB installer (.msi file) you downloaded.
- Follow the installation wizard. You can choose the "Complete" setup type
for all features.
- Optionally, install MongoDB Compass, a GUI for MongoDB, if it's included
in the installer options.

macOS:
- Open the downloaded .tgz file and extract it.
- Copy the extracted files to your preferred directory (commonly
`/usr/local/mongodb`).

Linux:
- Follow the specific installation commands for your Linux distribution as
per the MongoDB documentation. This usually involves updating your
package database, installing the MongoDB packages, and optionally ensuring
that MongoDB will start on boot.

3. Configure MongoDB

Create Data Directory:

- MongoDB requires a data directory to store its databases. The default path is
`/data/db` on Linux and macOS. You might need to create this directory and set
the appropriate permissions.

- On Windows, the installer might set up the data directory for you, or you can
specify a custom path during installation.

Set Environment Variables (Optional, mainly for Windows and macOS):

- Add the MongoDB bin directory to your system's PATH environment
variable for easy execution of MongoDB's commands from any command
prompt or terminal window.

4. Start MongoDB
Windows:
- If you've installed MongoDB as a service, it should start automatically.
- Otherwise, you can start MongoDB manually by navigating to the MongoDB
bin directory and running `mongod.exe`.
macOS and Linux:
- Open a terminal window.
- Start MongoDB by running the `mongod` command, specifying the data
directory if it's not the default path, e.g., `mongod --dbpath /your/custom/path`.

5. Verify MongoDB is Running


- Open another terminal or command prompt window.
- Connect to the MongoDB database server using the MongoDB shell by
running the command `mongo`.
- If you see the MongoDB shell prompt, then MongoDB is running and you can
start interacting with the database server.

6. (Optional) Install MongoDB Compass
- MongoDB Compass is the official GUI for MongoDB. If you didn't install it
during the MongoDB installation (or if it wasn't included), you can download it
separately from the MongoDB website and install it to easily manage your
MongoDB databases through a graphical interface.

7. Secure MongoDB (Important)


- By default, MongoDB is not secured, and anyone can access the database. It's
crucial to configure security settings, including enabling authentication,
creating users, and configuring network access controls. Refer to the MongoDB
documentation for detailed steps on securing your MongoDB instance.

This guide provides a general overview. For detailed instructions, especially for
specific operating systems or for troubleshooting, refer to the official
MongoDB documentation or the setup guide for your specific environment.
