MongoDB Setup

Install

• Download the community version of MongoDB.
• Download Mongo Shell.

Set up Mongosh

• While you set up mongosh (Mongo Shell), you typically get the error below when you type mongosh on your terminal:

mongosh : The term 'mongosh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet,
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

At line:1 char:1
+ mongosh $Env:MDB_CONNECTION_STRING;
+ ~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (mongosh:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Solution

• To resolve this, you need to add Environment Variables. To do this:

1. Go to “Edit System Environment Variables”
2. Click on “Environment Variables”
3. Under “System Variables”, Edit “Path”
4. Add Two paths as follows:

• MongoDB bin path

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\7.0\bin

• Depending on where you have downloaded mongosh:

C:\Users\yusuf\Downloads\mongosh-2.2.3-win32-x64\mongosh-2.2.3-win32-x64\bin
