Can I see nodeBB database in MongoDBCompass?

[Topper]

Hi, i am pretty new to programming but I try to set up a platform where people can share tecnical ideas and build something together. However I am currently stuck in the windows installation. I am stuck at this command:

net stop MongoDB
net start MongoDB
mongo -u admin -p your_password --authenticationDatabase=admin

First I dont really know which console I have to use for this command. I used the mongosh exe, that came with the MongoDBshell. When typing in the command, I get the following error:

• should the database nodebb be visible in MongoDBCompass? It is not under the localhost adress

Thanks in advance!

@Topper You need to exit the mongo cli before executing those commands

[Topper]

@PitaJ I found that mongo cli is the MonoDBShell eg. the mongosh cmd?
I tried putting the commands into the GIT cmd (with mongosh closed) but there it throws the error command unknown.

You said you tried git bash and it didn't work? What is the error exactly? Try using cmd or PowerShell built into Windows.

[Topper]

Windows cmd says that the command "mongo" is written wrong or cant be found. Powershell also gives an error.

[Topper]

Bash Error:
bash: mongo: command not found

@Topper how did you install mongodb? Did you [add the mongo binaries to your PATH as documented here] (https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/windows/)?

@PitaJ I now saw that I used Version 6.0 of MongodB instead of 5. In the path I wrote 5 thought. I guess I have to do some steps again
