Tech Demo | Set up MongoDB
1. Install MongoDB
Download and install MongoDB. In this tech demo we’ll install it the default folder:
C:/Program Files/MongoDB/Server4.4/bin/
We’ll use this folder as our base folder for the techdemo
c:/files/techdemo/
Create a script to launch MongoDB. Call it run-mongo.bat and store it in the above folder. This is the script contents.
C:/Program Files/MongoDB/Server4.4/bin/mongod --dbpath=c:/files/techdemo/data
Run it to make sure it works.
2. Create a Tech demo database
Run MongoDB Compass. This is one of the apps distributed with MongoDB in the MongoDB download
Connect to the MongoDB server. Click CONNECT
Click CREATE DATABASE
Enter ‘techdemo-orders’ in the Database Name field, and ‘orders’ in the Collection Name field. If you haven’t used MongoDB, then a collection is like a table in a SQL database.
Click CREATE DATABASE
Do this again, but use ‘techdemo-warehouse’, and ‘stock’ to create another database and collection.
