To install MongoDB on your system, you can follow these general steps:
-
Go to the MongoDB download page at https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community.
-
Select your operating system and download the appropriate installation package.
-
Run the downloaded installer package and follow the instructions for your operating system to install MongoDB.
-
Once the installation is complete, you can start the MongoDB server by running the mongod command in a terminal or command prompt.
-
By default, MongoDB stores data in the /data/db directory. If this directory does not exist, you will need to create it manually.
After installing and starting the MongoDB server, you can interact with it using the MongoDB shell or a MongoDB driver for your programming language of choice, such as PyMongo for Python.
