Courses Plus Student 35,157 PointsTrying to run Mongo
Just installed on Windows 10 - I can open md mongo db but when I get to the C:> point, none of the paths listed in the installation instructions are recognized.
I would include a screenshot of the command line but I can't attach files. I hope this is clear. I go from the path to my user name using cd\ and then I can't get past the C:>.
thanks. I am taking a NoSQL class this fall and was hoping to get a little jump on this.

As an additional plus you'll be able to move fairly seemlessly to your production environment by changing the connection URL in the future.

Courses Plus Student 35,157 PointsThanks for the alternative. I moved on to something else in the meantime but when I am done with it, I'll give your solution a go.
