![]() I created the folder “C:\MongoDBData” for this purpose. The final installation step is creating a folder for MongoDB to store its data. Next, I added “C:\Program Files\MongoDB\bin” to the path environment variable. I unzipped this file into “C:\Program Files” and then renamed the uncatchy folder mongodb-win32-i386-1.6.3 to plain old “MongoDB”. At the time of writing, the latest stable release was version 1.6.3, which is what I got. If you have a 64-bit operating system, it’s really worth getting the 64-bit version, as the 32-bit version can only address around 2GB of data. ![]() This was the easiest part of the operation, despite Appendix A of the book (installing MongoDB) having not been written yet. Getting to a situation where everything just worked was a long, painful process, and I’d like to share my findings so others don’t have to go through the same frustrations. So, I decided to install Ruby so I could follow along with the examples in the book. Now, I’m pretty much a C# person through and through these days, but the C# driver for MongoDB is not officially supported. In it, Banker uses Ruby in his examples, and the MongoDB project provide an official Ruby driver to access MongoDB. So far, it’s shaping up to be a great read. I’ve recently downloaded the first three chapters of Kyle Banker’s “ MongoDB In Action” from Manning’s early access program.
