Installing MongoDB on Windows
To install MongoDB on Windows, go to www.mongodb.org/downloads and choose the msi package, either the 64-bit or
32-bit version depending on your Windows OS.
Install MongoDB by double-clicking the mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-2.6.1.msi file. Choose the default
settings. The installer will put MongoDB in C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin. You need to add path
to your Path environment variable. You can do the same thing as with the previous tools and, even though it is not
necessary, you can define a MONGODB_HOME and add the %MONGODB_HOME%\bin to your path (see Figure A-27). You need
this in order to execute some mongo commands in a DOS terminal window. This happens when you start the server
or when you need to query a collection in Mongo.
