Here are the instructions we had:
- Download MongoDB Community
- Choose Setup Type -> Custom
- DO NOT install MongoDB as a service
- DO NOT install MongoDB Compass
- Navigate to the root directory of your C drive and create data folder
- Navigate inside the data folder and create db folder
- Test your installation by issuing the mongod command
- Make sure your PATH contains C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin
I’ve done all of that.
