The MongoDB Shell, also known as `mongosh`, is a modern command-line interface for MongoDB that allows you to interact with your database. It is compatible with MongoDB version 4.2 or greater and can be installed on various operating systems including macOS 11+ (x64 and ARM64), Microsoft Windows Server 2016+, Microsoft Windows 10+, Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8+ (x64, ARM64, ppc64le, and s390x), Ubuntu 20.04+ (x64 and ARM64), Amazon Linux 2023 (x64 and ARM64), Debian 11+, and SLES 15[1].
To install `mongosh`, you can follow these general steps:
1. Visit the MongoDB Shell download page[1].
2. Select your platform from the dropdown menu (e.g., Windows 64-bit (8.1+) (MSI) for Windows users) [1].
3. Click Download[1].
4. Once the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file to start the installation process[1].
Please note that the exact installation process may vary depending on your operating system. For macOS users, you might need to unzip the downloaded file and extract the binaries[8]. For Windows users, you might need to specify an environment variable[10].
After successfully installing `mongosh`, you can connect to your MongoDB deployment[1]. If you don't have a MongoDB deployment, you can use MongoDB Atlas, which is a free cloud-hosted deployment[1].
Please note that the legacy MongoDB Shell (`mongo`) has been deprecated in MongoDB v5.0 and replaced with `mongosh` [5]. The new MongoDB Shell (`mongosh`) offers more features than the old shell (`mongo`), such as intelligent autocomplete, syntax highlighting, easy-to-understand error messages, and a formatting feature to present the output in a readable format[12].
