1 00:00:02,350 --> 00:00:04,250 In the previous lecture, 2 00:00:04,250 --> 00:00:07,320 we installed MongoDB on macOS, 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,930 and we had a look at the documentation and so on. 4 00:00:09,930 --> 00:00:13,453 In this lecture, we're going to install it on Windows. 5 00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:16,210 Now, again, we're going to dive 6 00:00:16,210 --> 00:00:18,860 into the Cloud offerings later. 7 00:00:18,860 --> 00:00:20,840 For the software offerings, we, again, 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,860 wanna install the community server, 9 00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:26,720 and now we wanna install the community server on Windows. 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,790 It should automatically select a correct Operating System 11 00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:33,970 here on the right, if not, select Windows manually. 12 00:00:33,970 --> 00:00:37,720 And then you can simply download the MSI package, 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,170 which is a installer, 14 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:42,530 which is more convenient to use to install MongoDB, 15 00:00:42,530 --> 00:00:44,333 than using the SIP file. 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,350 So let's download this installer 17 00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:49,870 and this can take a short while until it's done, 18 00:00:49,870 --> 00:00:52,180 since the package is a rather big. 19 00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:54,080 But I'll be back once the download finished, 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,450 and then we're going to walk 21 00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:57,050 through this installer together. 22 00:00:59,088 --> 00:01:01,850 Okay, so the installation finished for me. 23 00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:03,973 Now I'll start this installer, 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,010 and we'll walk through that together. 25 00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:10,280 Of course, we have to accept the license agreement, 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,763 and then I'll choose the custom installation mode here. 27 00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:18,550 Now, here, we wanna make sure, 28 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:23,550 that all these items are selected Client and Server. 29 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 The server will be the things serving our databases 30 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,950 and storing our data. 31 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:32,140 The client will be a tool we use on our local machine 32 00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:33,660 to connect to that server, 33 00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:36,940 to run commands against that server and so on. 34 00:01:36,940 --> 00:01:40,400 And we installed the same combination of tools 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,030 in the previous lecture for macOS as well. 36 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:45,050 And as mentioned there already, 37 00:01:45,050 --> 00:01:47,600 in case you skipped that part there, 38 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280 we need this client here, 39 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,520 for issuing commands to this server. 40 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,720 And we'll not really use a big graphical user interface 41 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,920 for working with our database. 42 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,320 Instead, no SQL databases in general, 43 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,100 are not really about configuring the database, 44 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,130 or any tables in there, because as you'll learn, 45 00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:14,210 there is no fixed predefined structure you have to set up. 46 00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:17,330 Instead, you really dive right into the commands 47 00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:21,120 that you wanna execute, for inserting data or fetching data. 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,640 And that's also just what we did in the end 49 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:28,100 with MySQL in the SQL course sections. 50 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,240 There, we had a graphical user interface, 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,660 but ultimately, we mostly needed that, 52 00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:38,020 for setting up our database and table structure. 53 00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:39,740 And once we had that, 54 00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:42,683 we also just executed commands in there. 55 00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:45,920 Now with no SQL, 56 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,140 since we won't have a structure that we need to set up, 57 00:02:49,140 --> 00:02:51,120 we can skip this part entirely, 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,300 and therefore we need no graphical user interface, 59 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,090 since a tool that allows us to run these commands, 60 00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:58,610 will be all we need. 61 00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:01,000 And that's what this client is. 62 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,910 So therefore we should make sure that's installed. 63 00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:06,713 And with that, we can click next here. 64 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:10,170 Now here's an important screen, 65 00:03:10,170 --> 00:03:13,540 Here by default, this checkbox is checked 66 00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:17,200 that you wanna install MongoD as a service. 67 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,610 MongoD is a process that will be installed 68 00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:24,820 that you would use for spinning up your database server. 69 00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:26,820 And you can do that manually. 70 00:03:26,820 --> 00:03:30,670 And if you uncheck this, you have to do it manually. 71 00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:33,170 But with Windows, the convenient thing 72 00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:35,920 is that we can indeed keep this checked. 73 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,550 And then the MongoDB database server will be started 74 00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:44,150 in the background for us, as a so-called service. 75 00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:47,250 We can still stop and start that manually then, 76 00:03:47,250 --> 00:03:51,130 but we don't have to actively execute some command 77 00:03:51,130 --> 00:03:52,360 to bring that up. 78 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400 We don't have to keep it running in the foreground. 79 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,870 Instead it will run in the background. 80 00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,687 And therefore I will keep this checked here, 81 00:04:00,687 --> 00:04:03,480 and I will keep these default settings. 82 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,830 But now here's an important part as well, 83 00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:09,080 the data and the log directory. 84 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,860 You can keep these default paths, 85 00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:12,510 but I wanna explain what they do. 86 00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:16,777 Like all databases, MongoDB, of course, 87 00:04:16,777 --> 00:04:20,420 ultimately stores the data somewhere on your system. 88 00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:22,410 It manages the data storage for you, 89 00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:26,430 but ultimately data will end up in files on your system. 90 00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:28,460 And it will use this path here, 91 00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:30,240 the data directory path, 92 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,143 for storing the concrete data in files. 93 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,430 It will also log some messages information, 94 00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:39,370 and we'll store that in this path. 95 00:04:39,370 --> 00:04:42,900 That's why these two paths are needed at what they do. 96 00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,040 And with that can leave all the settings. 97 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,220 But I wanted to explain why we have those settings, 98 00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:49,740 and click next. 99 00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:51,300 And just as a side note, 100 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,930 if you watched the macOS setup as well, 101 00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:56,930 there we did not set it up as a service. 102 00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:59,750 Instead, there we had some executable files, 103 00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:01,710 which we had to execute manually 104 00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:04,030 to start the database server. 105 00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:05,110 This also works, 106 00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:07,970 but on Windows this here can be more convenient. 107 00:05:07,970 --> 00:05:09,403 So let's click next here. 108 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:15,710 Now we then also get a chance of installing MongoDB Compass. 109 00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:17,870 On macOS we didn't get that. 110 00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:21,160 We could still install it as an extra tool there, 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,410 and you can keep this checked here and click next. 112 00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:30,110 Alternatively, you can also always install it stand-alone, 113 00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:33,300 by going to the MongoDB website and then to software, 114 00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,710 and then going to Compass there. 115 00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:38,490 And there, if you click on try it now, 116 00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:40,860 you can also download Compass there. 117 00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:43,170 And that's this graphical user interface, 118 00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:46,923 which you can also use for talking to your database. 119 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,373 Hence I'll click next here, and then install. 120 00:05:52,210 --> 00:05:55,480 Now, once the installation is done, you can click finish. 121 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,060 And now as a first step, 122 00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:00,490 you can open up your Windows Start menu, 123 00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:02,683 and search for Services there. 124 00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:05,573 And open this services tool. 125 00:06:06,470 --> 00:06:08,710 Here you got all the background services 126 00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:11,040 that are running on your system, 127 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,660 and if you scroll down to M there, 128 00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:16,713 you should find MongoDB server there as well. 129 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,060 And it's running by default. 130 00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:21,910 Now this is just database server, 131 00:06:21,910 --> 00:06:23,500 which is running in the background, 132 00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,130 as discussed a couple of seconds ago. 133 00:06:26,130 --> 00:06:29,900 You can always right click on it here to stop it. 134 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,160 And then this will shut down this service 135 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,500 and therefore also that database server. 136 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:35,910 And once it's stopped, 137 00:06:35,910 --> 00:06:37,950 you won't be able to interact with it. 138 00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:41,220 So you won't be able to send commands to it. 139 00:06:41,220 --> 00:06:43,310 Therefore you wanna start it again, 140 00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:46,560 so that you are able to interact with it again. 141 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,890 And that's of course, then a very convenient way, 142 00:06:48,890 --> 00:06:51,133 of starting and stopping that service. 143 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:55,620 Alternatively, you can open up your Command Prompt, 144 00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,800 as administrator. 145 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,690 And in there, you can run net stop MongoDB, 146 00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:03,793 to also stop this service. 147 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,520 And once it's stopped, 148 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,580 you can run net start MongoDB to start it again. 149 00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:13,540 So that's an alternative to using this services tool. 150 00:07:13,540 --> 00:07:15,290 It's up to you, what you wanna use. 151 00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:19,470 So now we got that server running, 152 00:07:19,470 --> 00:07:21,270 but in order to use that server, 153 00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:23,390 we now need to start that client, 154 00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:25,920 that shell, as it's called. 155 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,690 Which allows us to send commands to the server, 156 00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:31,743 queries for inserting or fetching data. 157 00:07:32,730 --> 00:07:35,970 And for this, you should open up your Windows Explorer, 158 00:07:35,970 --> 00:07:39,340 and then go to the path where MongoDB was installed, 159 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:42,363 by default in C program files MongoDB. 160 00:07:43,570 --> 00:07:46,103 And here I got my server installed, 161 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,640 but if you dive into the bin folder there, 162 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,900 you'll also find the "mongo.exe" file. 163 00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:56,450 And that is actually an executable that you can run, 164 00:07:56,450 --> 00:08:00,570 to start your client, your interactive shell, 165 00:08:00,570 --> 00:08:04,280 that allows you to talk to that server. 166 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,010 So if you double click on that, 167 00:08:06,010 --> 00:08:08,200 this shell opens up, and now here, 168 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,750 you are connected to your server. 169 00:08:10,750 --> 00:08:14,470 In here, in this shell, you can now run commands 170 00:08:14,470 --> 00:08:16,410 to insert data or fetch data. 171 00:08:16,410 --> 00:08:18,410 And of course, that's exactly the part 172 00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,260 we're going to dive in in this course. 173 00:08:20,260 --> 00:08:23,710 So that's what we're going to explore in the future here. 174 00:08:23,710 --> 00:08:26,380 For the moment, you can just run show dbs, 175 00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:30,040 to basically list your databases on this server. 176 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,590 So that's a built-in command 177 00:08:31,590 --> 00:08:33,350 that will be understood by the server. 178 00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:36,650 And you should see some default databases here. 179 00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:38,000 And that's it for now. 180 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,409 At the moment, we're not going to do anything else. 181 00:08:40,409 --> 00:08:42,990 You can always close this shell and restart it, 182 00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:45,520 and you can always stop and restart the server. 183 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,180 But as long as you wanna work with it, 184 00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:49,530 it should, of course be up and running. 185 00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:52,430 And with that, let's now continue and dive deeper 186 00:08:52,430 --> 00:08:55,623 into MongoDB, and in how we can work with it.
