First, install mongodb first

① unzips the downloaded package to a directory

D:\ DB

② enter your directory from cmd

③ creates two folders, data and logs, under this directory

④ then goes to the bin directory and enter the command here: mongod-- dbpath=D:\ DB\ mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.4.3\ data

Do not close the dos window at this step

⑤ enter http://localhost:27017/ in the browser

If it appears

You are trying to access MongoDB on the native driver port. For http diagnostic access, add 1000 to the port number

Indicates that the installation was successful. The default port number for mongodb is 27017

⑥ and then type in the directory of mongodb

Mongod-- logpath D:\ DB\ mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.4.3\ logs\ MongoDB.log-- logappend-- dbpath D:\ DB\ mongodb-win32-x86_64-2.4.3\ data-- directoryperdb-serviceName MongoDB-- install

This step is to treat mongodb as a service
