Step 1  First download the  msi i e is the installation file from   https   www mongodb org downloads production   Step 2  Perform the installation using the so downloaded  msi file Automatically it gets stored in program files  You could perform a custom installation and change the directory    After this you should be able to see a Mongodb folder  Step 3  Create a new folder in this Mongodb folder with name  data   Create another new folder in your data directory with the name  db    Step 4  Open cmd  Go to the directory where your mongodb folder exists and go to a path like C  MongoDB Server 3 0 bin  In the bin folder you should have mongodb exe  Step 5  Now use    mongod --port 27017 --dbpath  C  MongoDB data db

an additional thing you can do that is amazing   is that you can add  C  Program Files MongoDB Server 4 0 bin  to your system environment variables   this will allow you to RUN the command  mongod  in any place in your cmd without navigating to the bin directory every time   -- note the the path to the bin directory can be different in your case --  so to arrange things up  1- make a folder data db in your c drive  this is the default path mongo will look for the place to store your database files   so you do not have to specify it using  --dbpath     2- add  C  Program Files MongoDB Server 4 0 bin  to your system environment variables   3- open CMD type  mongod   4- have fun   --  i saw this on a youtube channel called  thenewboston    which is also amazing --

It is properly written over here  If you download the  msi file then install it and if you download the zip file then extract it      Set up the MongoDB environment    MongoDB requires a data directory to store all data  MongoDB   s default data directory path is  data db  Create this folder using the following commands from a Command Prompt   md  data db  You can specify an alternate path for data files using the --dbpath option to mongod exe  for example   C  mongodb bin mongod exe --dbpath d  test mongodb data  If your path includes spaces  enclose the entire path in double quotes  for example   C  mongodb bin mongod exe --dbpath  d  test mongo db data   You may also specify the dbpath in a configuration file      Start MongoDB    To start MongoDB  run mongod exe  For example  from the Command Prompt   C  mongodb bin mongod exe     Connect to MongoDB    To connect to MongoDB through the mongo exe shell  open another Command Prompt   C  mongodb bin mongo exe
