Prerequisite to run mongo server

Run MongoDB Server

Go till bin path  where the mongodb is installed– and copy it,

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin

         



Open Command Prompt

# cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin

             
# C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin>mongod

                
    

When you type mongod, the server will get started – It starts listening to the default port 27017 and default data location /data/db which we have created.

As soon as you start the mongo server, the default files will get generated as shown below,
