Download and Install

Complete the following steps to install the Java driver and its dependencies in your development environment.

Install the driver dependencies

Before you begin this tutorial, ensure that you install the following dependencies:

JDK version 8 or later
Integrated development environment (IDE), such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse

Note

This tutorial shows how to install the Java driver by using Maven or Gradle in an IDE. If you do not use an IDE, visit Building Maven or Creating New Gradle Builds to learn how to set up your project.

Install the Java driver

In your IDE, create a new Maven or Gradle project. If you use Maven, add the following code to your pom.xml dependencies list:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
        <artifactId>mongodb-driver-sync</artifactId>
        <version>5.3.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

If you use Gradle, add the following code to your build.gradle dependencies list:

dependencies {
  implementation 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:5.3.0'
}

After you configure your dependencies, ensure they are available to your project by running your dependency manager and refreshing the project in your IDE.

After you complete these steps, you have a new project and the driver dependencies installed.
