About MongoDB
MongoDB (from humongous) is a free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database program. Classified as a NoSQL database program, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents with schemas. MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc. and is published under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License.

  3. Create a new Directory in your user directory alongside mongo called mongo-data. This is for storing the actual data that is inside the database.

  4. Using your terminal, cd to the bin in the mongo directory and enter this command below. This is to start up the server.

./mongod --dbpath ~/mongo-data

you should see something like this (below)

        Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not follow the Utopian Rules.

        This tutorial is too trivial - it involves an installation process, which is usually really easy to follow by yourself. On top of that, hundreds of these can also be found online with a simple google search.
