This is how I solved it, You can follow step by step here:
MongoDB Steps:
-
Download the latest 64-bit MSI version of MongoDB for Windows.
-
Run the installer (.msi file)
-
Add it to your PATH of environment variables. it Should be from:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin
now Create a “\data\db” folder in C:/ which is used by mongodb to store all data. You should have this folder:
C:\data\db
Note: This is the default directory location expected by mongoDB,
don’t create anywhere else
.
Finally, open command prompt and type:
>> mongod
You should see it asking for permissions (allow it) and then listen to a port.
After that is done, open another command prompt, leaving the previous one running the server.
Type in the new command prompt
>> mongo
You should see it display the version and connect to a test database.
This proves successful install!=)
