Answer 1

If you're using Windows 7/ 7+.

Here is something you can try.

Check if the installation is proper in CONTROL PANEL of your computer.

Now goto the directory and where you've install the MongoDB. Ideally, it would be in

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin

Then either in the command prompt or in the IDE's terminal. Navigate to the above path ( Ideally your save file) and type

mongod --dbpath

It should work alright!
