Here is the link to download pre built binary packages of MongoDb : http://www.mongodb.org/downloads
Unzip
After downloading the zip file, unzip it to the folder where you want to install.
Create a data directory
MongoDb stores data in db folder within data folder. But, since this data folder is not created automatically, you have to create it manually. Remember that data directory should be created in the root (i.e. C:\ or D:\ or so).
For this tutorial, we have unzipped it within mongodb folder within D: drive. Now, we will create a folder called data and within that we will create a folder called db.
It is not necessary to perform the above operation from command prompt. You may opt to do this from Windows Explorer also.
Run the MongoDb server from command prompt
To run MongoDb server from command prompt, you have to execute mongod.exe file from bin folder of mongodb folder.
Run the MongoDb server as a windows service
Remember that you must have administrative privilege to run the following command. Run the following command to install MongoDb as a Windows Service :
mongod --bind_ip yourIPadress --logpath "C:\data\dbConf\mongodb.log" --logappend --dbpath "C:\data\db" --port yourPortNumber --serviceName "YourServiceName" --serviceDisplayName "YourServiceName" --install
The following table shows what does different arguments specify :
|

Getting started with administrative shell
To start administrative shell, enter bin directory of your MongoDb installation and execute mongo.exe file. The default administrative shell of MongoDb is a JavaScript shell. When you connect mongodb immediately after installation, it connects to the test document (database).
Since it is a JavaScript Shell, you can run some simple arithmetic operation.
db command will show you the list of documents(databases).
We will insert a simple record and retrieve the data now.
The first command inserts 10 to the x field, to the w3r collection(table)
