Try this   mongod --fork --logpath  var log mongodb log   You may need to create the db-folder   mkdir -p  data db   If you get any  Permission denied -error  I ld recommend changing the permissions of the particular files instead of running mongod as root

You need to find the bin folder and then open a command prompt on that folder Then just type mongo exe and press enter to start the shell  Or you can supply the full path to mongo exe from any folder to start the shell   c  MongoDB bin mongo exe   Then if you have multiple databases  you can do enter command  gt use  lt database name gt  to use that db  Let me know if it helps or have issues

You were in the correct folder if you got the   mongod working  You now need to open another terminal  go to the same folder and type   mongo the first terminal window serves as your server  the second is where you enter your commands

Both the mongod  database server  and mongo  database client shell  programs are command line programs and each expects to be run in its own command line session   So  after starting the server  as you did with    mongod   you should open a second command line session and run    mongo  in it to give you a command line shell for talking to the server
