If someone can provide some insights here I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I am new to MongoDB, and (relatively) new to the command line.

I had a express/nod

Answer 1

Assuming you have created the data/db directory under bin after install.

1. Start a terminal for your mongo server
2. Go to /bin directory

3. Run the command

   ./mongod

4. Start a terminal for your mongo shell

5. Go to /bin directory

6. Run the command (make sure you put the name of the database)

   ./mongo test
