Setup MongoDB :

MongoDB requires a data directory to store the information, for this we need to create a folder with the name of data and give that folder path to MongoDB as part of the config file. Else we should create a data directory inside C:\ directory.

If we do not provide any configuration information, by default MongoDB searches the data folder in C:\ directory.

Creating mongo.config file :

mongo.config is a plain text file, it contains data folder path, logs path information and etc.

#Data File Path
dbpath=D:\Softwares\MongoDB-3.6.3\data

#Logs path
logpath=D:\Softwares\MongoDB-3.6.3\log\mongodb.log
