New to MongoDB Can not run command mongo

Question

I was trying to run MongoDB:

   E:\\mongo\\bin>mongod
    mongod --help for help and startup options
    Sun Nov 06 18:48:37
    Sun Nov 06 18:48:37 warning:          


        

Answer 1

You should create a startup.bat if you're using Windows, much more convenient:

C:\mongodb\mongodb-win32-x86_64-eiditon\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath C:\mongodb\data

And just dbclick startup.bat and mongodb will run using C:\mongodb\data as its data folder.
