$ mongod.exe
bash: mongod.exe: command not found

I installed the mongoDB with version Windows 64-bit 2008 R2+ on my windows8.1. Could anyone tell me why I got command not found error when start the mongod.exe?

Answer 1

try ./mongod to run the executable to begin the server then open a second window/terminal. navigate to the same location as your server, then run ./mongo. Should be set!
