I try to install MongoDB and I get this error "Data directory C: \ data \ db \ not found. Finishing"

Question

I'm trying to install MongoDB, but I get this with some difficulties

So, I decided to create the db folder in the DB folder, and I enter it into the command line

`mongod --dbpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\data\db`

However, I get an error

Invalid command: Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\data\db

I created a file. I do not understand the problem.

Answer 1

There is a gap in your team

`mongod --dbpath C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\data\db`

It should be

mongod --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\data\db"

Answer 2

'test' is automatically created when mongodb is installed. Do you see the "test" folder? If yes, use below:

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin>mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data
