To install MongoDB on Windows, first download the latest release of MongoDB from https://www.mongodb.org/downloads. Make sure you get correct version of MongoDB depending upon your Windows version. To get your Windows version, open command prompt and execute the subsequent command.
C:\>wmic os get osarchitecture
OSArchitecture
64-bit
C:\>
32-bit versions of MongoDB only support databases smaller than 2GB and suitable only for testing and evaluation purposes.
Now extract your downloaded file to c:\ drive or any other location. Make sure the name of the extracted folder is mongodb-win32-i386-[version] or mongodb-win32-x86_64-[version]. Here [version] is the version of MongoDB download.
Next, open the command prompt and run the h command.
C:\>move mongodb-win64-* mongodb
1 dir(s) moved.
C:\>
In case you have extracted the MongoDB at different location, then go to that path by using command cd FOLDER/DIR and now run the above given process.
MongoDB requires a data folder to store its files. The default location for the MongoDB data directory is c:\data\db. So you need to create this folder using the Command Prompt. Execute the subsequent command sequence.
C:\>md data
C:\md data\db
If you have to install the MongoDB at a different location, then you need to specify an alternate path for \data\db by setting the path dbpath in mongod.exe. For the same, issue the subsequent commands.
In the command prompt, navigate to the bin directory present within the MongoDB installation folder. Suppose my installation folder is D:\set up\mongodb
C:\Users\XYZ>d:
D:\>cd “set up”
D:\set up>cd mongodb
D:\set up\mongodb>cd bin
D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongod.exe –dbpath “d:\set up\mongodb\data”
This will show expecting connections message on the console output, which indicates that the mongod.exe process is running successfully.
Now to run the MongoDB, you need to open another command prompt and issue the subsequent command.
D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.6
connecting to: test
>db.test.save( { a: 1 } )
>db.test.find()
{ “_id” : ObjectId(5879b0f65a56a454), “a” : 1 }
>
This will show that MongoDB is installed and run successfully. Next time when you run MongoDB, you need to issue only commands.
D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongod.exe –dbpath “d:\set up\mongodb\data”
D:\set up\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe

Install MongoDB on Ubuntu

Run the subsequent command to import the MongoDB public GPG key −
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 –recv 7F0CEB10
Create a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list file using the subsequent command.
echo ‘deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen’
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
Now issue the subsequent command to update the repository −
sudo apt-get update
Next install the MongoDB by using the subsequent command −
apt-get install mongodb-10gen = 2.2.3
In the above installation, 2.2.3 is currently released MongoDB version. Make sure to install the latest version always. Now MongoDB is installed successfully.
Start MongoDB
sudo service mongodb start
Stop MongoDB
sudo service mongodb stop
Restart MongoDB
sudo service mongodb restart
