Installing MongoDB on Windows

To install MongoDB on Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the downloaded MongoDB .msi file (typically located in the default Downloads folder).
  2. Double-click the .msi file.
  3. A set of screens will appear to guide you through the installation process. If you choose the Custom installation option, you can specify an installation directory.
Note: These instructions assume that you have installed MongoDB to C:\mongodb.

MongoDB is self-contained and does not have any other system dependencies. You can run MongoDB from any folder and you can install it in any folder (for example D:\test\mongodb).
