Install MongoDB on Ubuntu
MongoDB comes in Free (Community), paid (Enterprise), and cloud (Atlas) editions. It’s not easy to find the free download on their landing page, but here it is.
MongoDB is an open-source document-oriented database that is designed to store a large scale of data and also allows you to work with that data very efficiently. It is categorized under the NoSQL(Not only SQL) database because the storage and retrieval of data in the MongoDB are not in the form of tables.
If you are using Ubuntu, you don’t need the download. Just run these steps to update the code repository then use apt-get to install the product.
The configuration file is /etc/mongod. It’s not necessary to change anything for a single-cluster installation.
Now start the service. The d in mongod means daemon.
Look in the log to verify that it is running and look for any possible errors.
Then open the shell.
Create a database. Just using the word use creates the database.
Install MongoDB on Mac
Here we install MongoDB on Mac. Go to this web page and fill out the version information to download MongoDB.
Update the path and make a data directory.
Start the daemon, telling it where to find the database. There will be no log files, so look at stdout (i.e., the screen where you started it) for errors. With the Mac installation, there is no configuration file either as you can pass configuration options on the command line, which you can also do on Ubuntu and other platforms. Or you could create a configuration file and tell the daemon to use that.
Create a Database and add some data:
Create a collection. A collection is a group of documents, like a table in a regular RDBMS database. Notice that the use statement makes the db object come into scope, so you can use that for subsequent operations.
MongoDB stores documents in JSON format. So you can add any JSON. But as we will see below, you still need to tell it what fields you want to index.

Create an index. The -1 means descending order.
