Installing MongoDB Compass

“

- [Tutor] We need to install one more thing, and that's MongoDB Compass. MongoDB Compass is one UI for MongoDB, and we will just need it once during this course. But again, like with Redis-Commander, it might help you to look at the data at some point to see what's going on under the hood. So please, search for MongoDB Compass, and then when you end up on this page, just download and install it, and then we can run it already. So I opened it already, and when I started, I'm presented with a connection screen. And the only thing you have to know is that our MongoDB listens on 37017, so not 27. So I changed that, and then I click Connect. And we are now connected to this MongoDB instance running in Docker. And right now, you don't see much, but the system collections. But as soon as we start our sample application the shopper collection will show up here.
