Run the MongoDB installer

Follow the MongoDB Community Edition installation wizard

Choose Setup Type

You can choose either the Complete (recommended for most users) or Custom setup type. The Complete setup option installs MongoDB and the MongoDB tools to the default location. The Custom setup option allows you to specify which executables are installed and where.

Create database directory

Create the data directory where MongoDB stores data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is the absolute path \data\db on the drive from which you start MongoDB.

cd C:\
md "\data\db"

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:\data\db"

Connect to MongoDB

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongo.exe"

Additional windows support

To use the command mongoretore:

Visit

Copy The dump folder from the repo to your "bin" folder in MongoDB directory, And then open two terminal windows: Create a folder named 'data' and inside data create a folder named 'db' in the drive where you have installed MongoDB Open one of the terminals and type the command

mongod 

to start the MongoDB Server

Open the second terminal in the "bin" folder with administrative access and type the command

mongorestore

to restore the DB files from the dump folder.

To restore a single database you need to provide the path to the dump directory as part of the mongorestore command line.

For example:

Backup the training database

mongodump --db training

Restore the training database to a new database called training2

mongorestore --db training2 dump/training The --db option for mongodump specifies the source database to dump.

The --db option for mongorestore specifies the target database to restore into.
