In previous post, we learned about Why MongoDB and it’s introduction. In this post, I am listing down the steps to install MongoDB on windows machine . Also, we will learn about few basic operations related to start and shutdown of MongoDB.

Sections in this post:

1) Download MongoDB
2) Install MongoDB
3) Create mongo.config Configuration File
4) Start/Shutdown the MongoDB Server
5) MongoDB Windows Service
6) Download/Use MongoDB Java Driver
7) Verify MongoDB Installation

1) Download MongoDB

There are three builds of MongoDB for Windows:

1) MongoDB for Windows Server 2008 R2 edition [ Download link ]

2) MongoDB for Windows 64-bit [ Download link ]

3) MongoDB for Windows 32-bit [ Download link ]

To find which version of Windows you are running, enter the following command in the Command Prompt:
c:\> wmic os get osarchitecture

More download options are given in official website of MongoDB.

2) Install MongoDB

The given links above will download zip files which you extract directly onto any place in your system of your choice. I have extracted them in “ d:/mongodb “. So, all code samples will in this post as well as future posts will refer to this location.

It’s recommended to add d:/mongodb/bin to Windows environment variable, so that you can access the MongoDB’s commands in command prompt directly.

Also, please create following directories inside d:/mongodb

• D:\mongodb\data
• D:\mongodb\log

3) Create mongo.config Configuration File

This is important step before marching ahead. Create a normal text file in location d:/mongodb and save it with name mongo.config .
Now place the below configuration options in file. You can change the option’s values at your will.

##Which IP address(es) mongod should bind to. 
bind_ip = 127.0.0.1

##Which port mongod should bind to.
port = 27017

##I set this to true, so that only critical events and errors are logged.
quiet = true

##store data here
dbpath=D:\mongodb\data
 
##The path to the log file to which mongod should write its log messages.
logpath=D:\mongodb\log\mongo.log

##I set this to true so that the log is not overwritten upon restart of mongod.
logappend = true
 
##log read and write operations
diaglog=3

##It ensures write durability and data consistency much as any journaling scheme would be expected to do. 
##Only set this to false if you don’t really care about your data (or more so, the loss of it).
journal = true

4) Start/Shutdown the MongoDB Server

To start the MongoDB server , use below command in command prompt:

mongod.exe –config d:\mongodb\mongo.config

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --config D:\mongodb\mongo.config --journal
2014-05-25T16:51:18.433+0530 warning: --diaglog is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
2014-05-25T16:51:18.434+0530 diagLogging level=3
2014-05-25T16:51:18.435+0530 diagLogging using file D:\mongodb\data/diaglog.5381d22e

To connect to MongoDB from command prompt, use below command:

d:\mongodb\bin>mongo

D:\mongodb\bin>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.6.1

Server has startup warnings:
2014-05-25T16:52:09.158+0530 [initandlisten]
2014-05-25T16:52:09.158+0530 [initandlisten] ** NOTE: This is a 32 bit MongoDB binary.
2014-05-25T16:52:09.158+0530 [initandlisten] **       32 bit builds are limited to less than 2GB of data (or less with --jour
nal).

To shutdown the MongoDB server , you must be authorized user. So after getting auth complete, use below command in command prompt:

db.shutdownServer()

> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.shutdownServer()
2014-05-25T19:55:25.221+0530 DBClientCursor::init call() failed

> quit()

D:\mongodb\bin>

5) MongoDB Windows Service

To install the window service, use below command:

mongod –config D:\mongodb\mongo.config –install

Start the windows service from command prompt:

net start MongoDB

Stop the windows service from command prompt:

net stop MongoDB

Remove the windows service

mongod –remove

Sample run of all above four commands is below:

D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --config D:\mongodb\mongo.config --install
2014-05-25T20:07:41.191+0530 warning: --diaglog is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
2014-05-25T20:07:41.192+0530 diagLogging level=3
2014-05-25T20:07:41.193+0530 diagLogging using file D:\mongodb\data/diaglog.53820035

D:\mongodb\bin>net start MongoDB

The MongoDB service was started successfully.


D:\mongodb\bin>net stop MongoDB
System error 109 has occurred.

The pipe has been ended.


D:\mongodb\bin>mongod --remove
2014-05-25T20:09:32.514+0530
2014-05-25T20:09:32.515+0530 warning: 32-bit servers don't have journaling enabled by default. Please use --journal if you wa
nt durability.
2014-05-25T20:09:32.515+0530
2014-05-25T20:09:32.518+0530 Trying to remove Windows service 'MongoDB'
2014-05-25T20:09:32.520+0530 Service 'MongoDB' removed

D:\mongodb\bin>

6) Download/Use MongoDB Java Driver

Download the MongoDB java driver (mongo-java-driver-2.9.3.jar) from this download link . It’s a jar file you need to include in your classpath/ copy in lib folder in project where you want to use MongoDB.

7) Verify MongoDB Installation

To verify that MongoDB has been installed and working properly, execute below program:

package examples.mongodb.install;

import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.List;

import com.mongodb.MongoClient;

public class VerifyMongoDBInstallation {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {
    MongoClient mongo = new MongoClient("localhost", 27017);

    List<String> dbs = mongo.getDatabaseNames();
    for (String db : dbs) {
      System.out.println(db);
    }
  }
}

Output:

local
admin

That’s all for MongoDB installation, startup and shutdown operations . Next, we will learn about some CRUD operations. Follow me to stay tuned.

Happy Learning !!
