16,957 PointsI saw that too but I have Mongo 3.0 which I think should work since Its more recent than the recommended 2.2 not older.

The '.mongorc.js' file is quite long as well. Maybe something with the installation? You could try removing and reinstalling or worse case just remove if you want to continue with the MongoDB course. I did it without Mongo-Hacker which is why I only just installed it now.

27,419 PointsI just added mongo hacker through npm thinking I might get the same error but it worked fine.
Looking through some posts, one comment said to check the version of Mongo, needs to be at least 2.2 to work. Check : https://github.com/TylerBrock/mongo-hacker/issues/1
