Hello,
I am just getting going with the Mongo Basics course. I set up a new cluster on Mongo because downloads are no longer available. I am assuming all of this video is now deprecated? Are there additional resources outside of the tutorials provided on Mongo for setup?
Thank you, Zach

10,798 PointsHi Ken,
Thanks for getting back to me. It looks like in order for the video to be up to date with mongoDB's most recent menu options on its website, there should be a link to https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav#community for doing a local install through terminal with the homebrew method. They are pushing the cloud version Atlas, so where the downloads are is not immediately apparent.

Treehouse TeacherHey Zack, what are you having struggles with in getting MongoDB setup on your system? It's been a while since I've watched that video and I think the installer from MongoDB has improved considerably since then.
Post back with more specifics and I'll watch the video in the meantime.

Treehouse TeacherOdd that the link doesn't work. If you click on the Community Server tab on that page it will take you to the server download section.

1,315 PointsI managed to download it. But in what environment do I install it? Do I need something like a VirtualBox VM running Windows Server 2008 R2? I've been messing around with that but things are getting complicated. #RabbitHole

Treehouse TeacherI'd suggest just running the Windows installer package. I don't run it in a VM at all. As long as your system is a 64-bit system, the current release will run. For Windows that is, typically, any OS after the Windows 2008 R2 Server edition.
