Where Is Default Installation Directory for Mongodb

Mongodb Install Path at windows

You can install Mongodb silently(unintended install). You can change install location and other things by package parameters.

msiexec.exe /q /i mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl 3.6.4-signed.msi INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6.4\" ADDLOCAL="all" SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0"

In Advanced Installer, add MongoDb as prerequisite and then go to Setup Files tab. There set all 3 fields from "Install Command Lines" to:

/qn INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6.4\"
ADDLOCAL="all" SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0"

Location of the mongodb database on mac

The default data directory for MongoDB is /data/db.

This can be overridden by a dbpath option specified on the command line or in a configuration file.

If you install MongoDB via a package manager such as Homebrew or MacPorts these installs typically create a default data directory other than /data/db and set the dbpath in a configuration file.

If a dbpath was provided to mongod on startup you can check the value in the mongo shell:

db.serverCmdLineOpts()

You would see a value like:

"parsed" : {
    "dbpath" : "/usr/local/data"
},

How can I tell where mongoDB is storing data? (its not in the default /data/db!)

mongod defaults the database location to /data/db/.

If you run ps -xa | grep mongod and you don't see a --dbpath which explicitly tells mongod to look at that parameter for the db location and you don't have a dbpath in your mongodb.conf, then the default location will be: /data/db/ and you should look there.

Windows MongoDB - Installed Compass but can't find Compass within system

For some reason in Windows 10 it is installed into the hidden AppData directory. At least I found first a shortcut 'MongoDB Compass' here:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MongoDB Inc

and then in the properties of it the actual location seems to be

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\MongoDBCompass\MongoDBCompass.exe

How to start mongo db on windows

MongoDB requires a data directory to store all data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is \data\db.

Create this folder

md \data\db

You can specify an alternate path for data files using the --dbpath option to mongod.exe, for example:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data

If your path includes spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotes,

for example:

C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath "d:\test\mongo db data"
