Installation requirements & source code download

MongoDB server installation

In case you want to run and debug the samples existing in these docs locally, your development machine should have at least the followings configured:

• A MongoDB instance: If you haven't any instance installed on your machine, you can download the Community Edition which is free. Depending on your computer's OS, click the respective link and follow the instructions.

• .NET Core SDK: Download the latest .NET Core SDK from Microsoft's official page.

Both MongoDB and .NET Core are open source projects which means you can run the samples either in a MAC, Linux or Windows machine 👏

⬇️ Clone the repository

You can download the source code for the docs by either selecting Clone or download in the repository's page or by running the following git command

git clone https://github.com/chsakell/mongodb-csharp.git

After doing so, don't forget to set the connection string to point your MongoDB instance in the appsettings.json file.

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "MongoDBConnection": "mongodb://localhost:27017"
}
