Welcome to MongoDB!
## Components
- `mongod` - The database server.
- `mongos` - Sharding router.
## Download MongoDB

## Building
See [Building MongoDB](docs/building.md).
## Running
For command line options invoke:
```bash
$ ./mongod --help
```
To run a single server database:
```bash
$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db
$ ./mongod
$
$ # The mongosh shell connects to localhost and test database by default:
$ ./mongosh
test> help
```
## Installing Compass
You can install compass using the `install_compass` script packaged with MongoDB:

```
This will download the appropriate MongoDB Compass package for your platform
