The MongoDB software for Windows can be downloaded from https://www.mongodb.org/downloads.

Note: Mongodb 2.2 and later will no longer support Windows XP.

After the download is complete, start the installation. It is the same as other Windows software installations. There is one thing you need to pay attention to during the installation process. In the figure below, we can select the Custom option to customize some options. If you use the default configuration, you can select complete.

Here I changed the installation directory to drive D, as shown below

I won’t take screenshots of the following installation process, it’s just the normal installation of Windows software.

Set the directory where Mongodb stores data below:

The default directory for storing data in Mongodb is data/db. However, this directory will not be created automatically, so we need to create it manually. Create the data/db directory in the D drive.

Then create a new environment variable and add the mongodb installation directory/bin to the Path

Confirm completion, open the windows dos window, and enter the command mongod.exe –dbpath D:/data/db in the command line.
The following result indicates that the service is successfully started.

Next, configure the mongodb service as a windows system service

First, open the DOS window and enter the following command

> mkdir D:\data\log

Then start installing the service and enter in the Dos command line

> mongod.exe --logpath D:\data\log\mongod.log --dbpath D:\data\db -- install

After pressing Enter, the following result appears

2015-12-21T16:41:27.570+0800 I CONTROL [main]
2015-12-21T16:41:27.571+0800 W CONTROL [main] 32-bit servers don't have journal

Description: Installation is successful

Then you can manage the mongodb service through the following command

> net start mongodb Start the mongodb service

> net stop mongodb shuts down the mongodb service

Finally, if you want to remove the service, you can use the following command

> Mongod.exe –remove

It can also be configured as a self-starting service under Windows, using the following command

> sc.exe create mongoDB bingPath=”Installation directory\bin\mongod.exe --service --logpath=\”D:\data\log\mongod.log\” --dbpath=\”D:\data\db\”” DisplayName=”mongoDB” start=”auto”

After success, the MongoDB service will be started every time the Windows system is started.

To delete a service, use the following command

> sc.exe delete mongoDB

So far, the method of installing mongodb under windows7 has been introduced. If you have any better suggestions, please leave a message below
