Querying and Indexing the MongoDB is very easy.

MongoDB is a free and open source program.

Installing MongoDB on macOS

There are two ways to install MongoDB. We can either download it from the official
MongoDB website (https:/​/​www.​mongodb.​org/​downloads#production) or we can use

Homebrew to install it.

Installing MongoDB by downloading

1. Download the version of MongoDB you want from https:/​/​www.​mongodb.​com/
   download-​center#production.​


2. Copy the downloaded gzipped to the root folder. Adding it to the root folder will
   allow us to use it globally:

$ cd Downloads

$ mv mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.0.7.tgz ~/

3. Unzip the gzipped file:

$ tar -zxvf mongodb-osx-x86_64-3.0.7.tgz

4. Create a directory that will be used by Mongo to save data:

$ mkdir -p /data/db

5. Now, to check if the installation was done successfully, start the Mongo server:

$ ~/mongodb/bin/mongod

Here, we have successfully installed and started the mongo server.
