MongoDB? Am I missing where this is listed as a prerequisite?

I've rolled into the third part of this course and it appears that the installation of MongoDB and familiarity with using it is understood. I don't see anything on the description page or anything in the teacher's notes regarding installation. Am I missing this?

I don't know for sure if it's a prerequisite to this particular course...but I highly recommend watching the Mongo Basics course. It will teach you the very least you need to know about MongoDB, how to set it up, and some of the very basic functions. I'm actually doing a track and MongoDB came right before this course. Oh and heads up, it your on a windows computer...installation is just a little bit tricky...in that case watching the Mongo Basics courses is a must in my opinion.
