How to Install MongoDB like a Pro

1. Go to the URL : https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community/releases/archive

2. Select  Software for your computer e.g: for Windows , shown below

 3. Select a binary in .zip format , from the link:

4. Download it into a repository, and extract it into an installation directory.

5. Create data directories for installation:

1. D:/Mongo/Data – for data files
2. D:/Mongo/Log – for log files
3. D:/Mongo/Config – for configuration files

6. Create a configuration file- [mongod.conf] and paste the content below:

storage:

   dbPath: "C:/Mongo/Data"

systemLog:

   destination: file

   path: "C:/Mongo/Log/mongod.log"

Note: it must be in YAML format that is 3 space from left end.

7. We need to give user(a service account) full access to this installation directory, form the same we will use this command:

Icacls d:\mongo /grant Avinash:(OI)(CI)F

8. Now, install mongo db as service on windows server , using command:

mongod --install --config d:\mongo\config\mongod.conf --serviceUser Avinash --servicePassword ******* 

9. Now, we will verify whether it is installed or not.

sc qc mongodb

10. We will start the mongodb service now, by running the command:

net start mongodb

11. Create a db:

 use my_test_db

12. Create a user:

db.createUser(

  {

    user: "avinashthakur",

    pwd: "Bangalore#12345",

    roles: [

       { role: "readWrite", db: "my_test_db" },

       { role: "readWrite", db: "test" },

       { role: "readWrite", db: "admin" }       

    ]

  }

)
