This module helps you easily install the `mongodb` without having to compile anything. MongoDB is an open-source, document database designed for ease of development and scaling. ## Installation Download and install the latest build of mongodb for your OS and add it to your projects `package.json` as a `dependency`: ``` npm install mongodb-prebuilt ``` `--global` to make MongoDB binaries accessible without additional configurations. ``` npm install -g mongodb-prebuilt ``` If that command fails with an `EACCESS` error you may have to run it again with `sudo`: ``` sudo npm install -g mongodb-prebuilt ``` Now you can just run `mongod` to run mongodb: ``` mongod ``` Complete list of programs: - [bsondump](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/bsondump/) - [mongo](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongo/) - [mongod](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongod/) - [mongodump](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongodump/) - [mongoexport](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongoexport/) - [mongofiles](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongofiles/) - [mongoimport](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongoimport/) - [mongooplog](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongooplog/) - [mongoperf](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongoperf/) - [mongorestore](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongorestore/) - [mongos](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongos/) - [mongosniff](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongosniff/) - [mongostat](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongostat/) - [mongotop](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/program/mongotop/) ## About Works on Mac, Windows, Linux and Solaris OSes that MongoDB supports. ## CLI usage The latest version of MongoDB is used by default for your OS and `~/.mongodb-prebuilt` for downloading MongoDB binary. You can set desired version, download folder, architecture and platform through environment variables: ``` MONGODB_VERSION MONGODB_DOWNLOADDIR MONGODB_ARCH MONGODB_PLATFORM ``` For example: ``` export MONGODB_DOWNLOADDIR='./' MONGODB_VERSION=3.4.10 mongod --port 27018 --dbpath ./mongodb --logpath /dev/stdout ``` ## Programmatic usage ```javascript let {MongodHelper} = require('mongodb-prebuilt'); let mongodHelper = new MongodHelper(['--port', "27018"]); // OPTIONAL: to control what version of mongo you want to download mongodHelper = new MongodHelper(['--port', "27018"], { version: 'x.x.x' }); mongodHelper.run().then((started) => { console.log('mongod is running'); }, (e) => { console.log('error starting', e); }); ``` --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/mongodb-prebuilt · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
