Run MongoDB on Windows

To get MongoDB running on a recent version of Windows (preferably 64-bit):

• Download and unzip the current version of MongoDB.
• Unpack this zip file in your Program Files directory, calling in mongodb.
• Add C:\Program Files\mongodb\bin to your PATH environment variable by going to System->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables. (System can be accessed by right-clicking on the start menu/start icon.)
• Create the directory C:\data\db
• You can run MongoDB now by typing mongod at a command prompt. If you want your databases to be elsewhere, type mongodb --dbpath /path/to/db
