What is the method of starting MongoDB?

The startup method of MongoDB can be executed via the command line. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Open the command line terminal.
2. Navigate to the installation directory of MongoDB. By default, the installation path for MongoDB is C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\\bin.
3. Enter the following command in the command line to start the MongoDB server:
4. The term “mongod” refers to the MongoDB server process.
5. This will start the MongoDB server, using the default data directory (/data/db) and default port number (27017) by default.
6. If you wish to use a custom data directory, you can specify the path of the data directory by using the –dbpath parameter, for example:
7. Start MongoDB using the specified data directory path.
8. After successfully starting the MongoDB server, you will see some running log information.

Alternatively, if you have used Windows services to install MongoDB, you can start the MongoDB server by following these steps:

1. Open the Service Manager. You can open the Service Manager by typing “services.msc” in the Windows search bar.
2. Locate the MongoDB service in the service manager, usually named “MongoDB Server”.
3. Right-click on the service, then select “Start”.

Once the MongoDB server is successfully started, you can use the MongoDB client to connect and operate the database regardless of the method used to start it.
