Installing MongoDB Server
Download The Latest Zip
Go to https://dl.mongodb.org/dl/win32/x86_64, find the latest zip available and download it. Here is what I got at the time:
Extract and Move To Laragon MongoDB Directory
Extract the zip file, it will result a single folder with the name of the version downloaded. Now just move the folder to C:\laragon\bin\mongodb or create the mongodb there first if it's not availble.
Run the MongoDB Server
Open the Laragon Dashboard, now the mongodb menu will available. You can run the server and stop it later from here.
GUI Client: Robo 3T (Robomongo)
The lightest client GUI available for MongoDB is robomongo and somehow it renamed to Robo 3T now. You can download it from https://robomongo.org and install it like a normal software installation. Once you done installed it, you can test and create connection the server like this:
CLI Client: MongoDB Shell (Mongosh)
If you prefer to work with terminal or shell, you can use MongoDB Shell and the windows installer is availble at https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell. Installing it will add the PATH for the command automatically. Here is when typed mongosh and ENTER in command prompt:
If the PATH isn't added automatically, then add it manually as instructed here https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/install/#add-the-mongosh-binary-to-your-path-environment-variable
