Figure A-27. Path Environment Variable with the MONGODB_HOME/bin
The MongoDB server also needs a storage path where it will allocate all the data for your collections (these
collections will hold all the documents and types that you will be using in several chapters). So every time you start
the server you need to add this path with the --dbpath parameter.
Start MongoDB server
To start the MongoDB server, execute the following command (also see Figure A-28). It is important that the DATA
path exists:
C:\> mongod --dbpath C:\Data\mongodb
