Step 1  First download the  msi i e is the installation file from  Download MonggoDB  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 under program files  starting MongoDB shell and service is not big a deal I Got a good reference after the long search Installing MongoDB in Windows

Pretty good documentation is provided on the MongoDB website     Install MongoDB         Determine which MongoDB build you need       There are three builds of MongoDB for Windows       MongoDB for Windows Server 2008 R2 edition  i e  2008R2  runs only on Windows Server 2008 R2  Windows 7 64-bit  and newer versions of   Windows  This build takes advantage of recent enhancements to the   Windows Platform and cannot operate on older versions of Windows       MongoDB for Windows 64-bit runs on any 64-bit version of Windows newer than Windows XP  including Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7   64-bit       MongoDB for Windows 32-bit runs on any 32-bit version of Windows newer than Windows XP  32-bit versions of MongoDB are only intended   for older systems and for use in testing and development systems    32-bit versions of MongoDB only support databases smaller than 2GB       To find which version of Windows you are running  enter the following command in the Command Prompt       wmic os get osarchitecture    Download MongoDB for Windows       Download the latest production release of MongoDB from the MongoDB downloads page  Ensure you download the correct version of MongoDB for   your Windows system  The 64-bit versions of MongoDB does not work with   32-bit Windows    Install the downloaded file       In Windows Explorer  locate the downloaded MongoDB msi file  which typically is located in the default Downloads folder  Double-click the   msi file  A set of screens will appear to guide you through the   installation process    Move the MongoDB folder to another location  optional        To move the MongoDB folder  you must issue the move command as an Administrator  For example  to move the folder to C  mongodb       Select Start Menu   All Programs   Accessories       Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator from the popup menu       Issue the following commands         cd   move C  mongodb-win32-  C  mongodb       MongoDB is self-contained and does not have any other system dependencies  You can run MongoDB from any folder you choose  You may   install MongoDB in any folder  e g  D  test mongodb          Run MongoDB      Warning       Do not make mongod exe visible on public networks without running in      Secure Mode    with the auth setting  MongoDB is designed to be run in   trusted environments  and the database does not enable    Secure Mode      by default          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     Start MongoDB       To start MongoDB  run mongod exe  For example  from the Command Prompt         C  Program Files MongoDB bin mongod exe       This starts the main MongoDB database process  The waiting for connections message in the console output indicates that the   mongod exe process is running successfully       Depending on the security level of your system  Windows may pop up a Security Alert dialog box about blocking    some features    of   C  Program Files MongoDB bin mongod exe from communicating on   networks  All users should select Private Networks  such as my home or   work network and click Allow access  For additional information on   security and MongoDB  please see the Security Documentation    Connect to MongoDB       To connect to MongoDB through the mongo exe shell  open another Command Prompt  When connecting  specify the data directory if   necessary  This step provides several example connection commands       If your MongoDB installation uses the default data directory  connect without specifying the data directory         C  mongodb bin mongo exe       If you installation uses a different data directory  specify the directory when connecting  as in this 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        If you want to develop applications using  NET  see the documentation of C  and MongoDB for more information    Begin using MongoDB       To begin using MongoDB  see Getting Started with MongoDB  Also consider the Production Notes document before deploying MongoDB in a   production environment       Later  to stop MongoDB  press Control C in the terminal where the mongod instance is running          Configure a Windows Service for MongoDB      Note       There is a known issue for MongoDB 2 6 0  SERVER-13515  which prevents   the use of the instructions in this section  For MongoDB 2 6 0  use   Manually Create a Windows Service for MongoDB to create a Windows   Service for MongoDB instead          Configure directories and files       Create a configuration file and a directory path for MongoDB log output  logpath        Create a specific directory for MongoDB log files         md  C  Program Files MongoDB log        In the Command Prompt  create a configuration file for the logpath option for MongoDB         echo logpath C  Program Files MongoDB log mongo log  gt   C  Program Files MongoDB mongod cfg     Run the MongoDB service       Run all of the following commands in Command Prompt with    Administrative Privileges          Install the MongoDB service  For --install to succeed  you must specify the logpath run-time option          C  Program Files MongoDB bin mongod exe  --config  C  Program Files MongoDB mongod cfg  --install       Modify the path to the mongod cfg file as needed       To use an alternate dbpath  specify the path in the configuration file  e g  C  Program Files MongoDB mongod cfg  or on the command line   with the --dbpath option       If the dbpath directory does not exist  mongod exe will not start  The default value for dbpath is  data db       If needed  you can install services for multiple instances of mongod exe or mongos exe  Install each service with a unique   --serviceName and --serviceDisplayName  Use multiple instances   only when sufficient system resources exist and your system design   requires it    Stop or remove the MongoDB service as needed       To stop the MongoDB service use the following command         net stop MongoDB       To remove the MongoDB service use the following command          C  Program Files MongoDB bin mongod exe  --remove          Manually Create a Windows Service for MongoDB      The following procedure assumes you have installed MongoDB using the   MSI installer  with the default path C  Program Files MongoDB 2 6   Standard       If you have installed in an alternative directory  you will need to   adjust the paths as appropriate          Open an Administrator command prompt       Windows 7   Vista   Server 2008  and R2       Press Win   R  then type cmd  then press Ctrl   Shift   Enter       Windows 8      Press Win   X  then press A       Execute the remaining

Mongo Installation Process in Windows Are you ready for the installation     and use     Technically  it   s not an installation it   s just Downloading    I    Download the zip file http   www mongodb org downloads II   Extract it and copy the files into your desired location  III  Start the DB engine  IV   Test the installation and use it  That s it  So simple  right  Ok let   s start  1  Download the zip file  Go to http   www mongodb org downloads  You will see a screen like this   I am using a windows 7 32 bit machine - that   s why I downloaded the package marked in red   Click download  It only takes a few seconds   Wow    I got that downloaded  It was a zipped file called mongodb-win32-i386-2 4 4 zip  The name of the folder will change according to the version you download  here I got version 2 4 4     OK all set   2  Extract  Extract the zip Copy the files into a desired location in your machine   I am going to copy the extracted files to my D drive  since I don   t have many files there  Alright then where are you planning to paste the mongo files  In C  or in your Desktop itself  Ok  no matter where you paste    In the snap shot below  you can see that I have navigated to the bin folder inside the Mongo folder  I count fifteen files inside bin  What about you      Finished  That   s all What we have to do next   3  Start the DB engine Let   s go and start using our mongo db     Open up a command prompt  then navigate to bin in the mongo folder   Type mongo exe  which is the command used to start mongo Db Power shell   Then see the below response    That was an awesome exception J LOL     What is that   Couldn   t connect to server   Why did the exception happen  I have no idea    Did I create a server in between  No  Right  then how come it connected to a server in between  Silly Machine    Jz  I got it  Like all other DBs - we have to start the DB engine before we use it  So  how can we start it   We have to start the mongo db by using the command mongod  Execute this from the bin folder of mongo  Let   s see what had happened   Again a wonderfully formatted exception J we got right  Did you notice what I have highlighted on top  Yeah it is the mongod command  The second one is the exception asking us to create a folder called data  And  inside the data folder  a folder called db  So we have to create these data db folders  The next question is where to create these folders   We have to create the data db folders in the C drive of our BOX in which we are installing mongo  Let   s go and create the folder structure in C drive  A question arises here   quot Is it mandatory to create the data db directories inside C  quot  Nooo  not really  Mongo looks in C by default for this folder  but you can create them wherever you want  However  if it s not in C  you have to tell mongo where it is  In other words  if you don t want the mongo databases to be on C    you have to set the db path for mongo exe  Optional  Ok  I will create those folders in some other location besides C for better understanding of this option  I will create then in the D drive root  with the help of cmd  Why  Because it   s an opportunity for us to remember the old dos commands      The next step is to set the Db path to mongo exe  Navigate back to bin  and enter the command  mongod exe --dbpath d  data  I got the response below   I Hope everything went well    Because I didn   t see any ERROR     in the console J    Next  we can go and start the db using the command start mongo exe  I didn t see any error or warning messages  But  we have to supply a command to make sure mongo is up and running  i e  mongod will get a response     Hope everything went well   4  Test the Mongo DB installation Now we have to see our DB right  Yea very much  Otherwise how will we know it   s running  For testing purpose MONGO has got a DB called test by default  Lets go query that  But how without any management studios  Unlike SQL  we have to depend on the command prompt  Yes exactly the same command prompt    our good old command prompt    Heiiiii    Don   t get afraid yes it   s our old command prompt only  Ok let   s go and see how we are going to use it    Ohhh Nooo    don   t close the above Command prompt  leave it as it is     Open a new cmd window   Navigate to Bin as usual we do    I am sure you people may be remembering the old C programming which we have done on our college day   s right   In the command prompt  execute the command mongo or mongo exe again and see what happens  You will get a screen as shown below    I mentioned before that Mongo has got a test db by default called test  try inserting a record into it  The next question here is  quot How will we insert  quot  Does mongo have SQL commands  No  mongo has got only commands to help with   The basic command to insert is db test save    KodothTestField     My name is Kodoth         Where test is the DB and  save is the insert command  KodothTestField is the column or field name  and My name is Kodoth is the value   Before talking more let   s check whether it   s stored or not by performing another command  db test find    Our Data got successfully inserted     Hurrayyyyyy   I know that you are thinking about the number which is displayed with every record right called ObjectId  It   s like a unique id field in SQL that auto-increments and all  Have a closer look you can see that the Object Id ends with 92  so it   s different for each and every record  At last we are successful in installing and verifying the MONGO right  Let   s have a party    So do you agree now MONGO is as Sweet as MANGO    Also we have 3rd party tools to explore the MONGO  One is called MONGO VUE  Using this tool we can perform operations against the mongo DB like we use Management studio for SQL Server  Can you just imagine an SQL server or Oracle Db with entirely different rows in same table  Is it possible in our relational DB table  This is how mongo works  I will show you how we can do that     First I will show you how the data will look in a relational DB  For example consider an Employee table and a Student table in relational way  The schemas would be entirely different right  Yes exactly     Let us now see how it will look in Mongo DB  The above two tables are combined into single Collection in Mongo     This is how Collections are stored in Mongo  I think now you can feel the difference really right  Every thing came under a single umbrella  This is not the right way but I just wanted to show you all how this happens that   s why I combined 2 entirely different tables in to one single Collection  If you want to try out you can use below test scripts                          TEST INSERT SCRIPT           EMPLOYEE        db test save    EmployeId   quot 1 quot   EmployeFirstName   quot Kodoth quot   EmployeLastName  quot KodothLast quot   EmployeAge  quot 14 quot        db test save    EmployeId   quot 2 quot   EmployeFirstName   quot Kodoth 2 quot   EmployeLastName  quot Kodoth Last2 quot   EmployeAge  quot 14 quot        db test save    EmployeId   quot 3 quot   EmployeFirstName   quot Kodoth 3 quot   EmployeLastName  quot Kodoth Last3 quot   EmployeAge  quot 14 quot              STUDENT        db test save    StudentId   quot 1 quot   StudentName   quot StudentName quot   StudentMark  quot 25 quot        db test save    StudentId   quot 2 quot   StudentName   quot StudentName 2 quot   StudentMark  quot 26 quot        db test save   StudentId   quot 3 quot   StudentName   quot
