Did you take the recommended prerequisite course and/or install mongo? All signs point to a missing installation.

I suggest checking out this video from the Mongo Basics course: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/setting-up-mongodb

Rich, Thank you. I did take the prerequisite course. And I followed Andrew. I managed all stuff in the end. But I installed newer version of programs. And I had to change a bit flow / code. 

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/sandbox", { useNewUrlParser: true });

And I read mongoDB by command:

1 "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:/Users/name/data/db/"

2 "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongo.exe"
