Struggling to run mongodump, mongoexport, or mongoimport from your command line? 🛠️ Since MongoDB 4.4, the Database Tools are a separate download, and they won't work unless you correctly configure your system's PATH. In this essential 2025 guide, we show you how to download, install, and set the environment variables to get these powerful utilities running globally.
This tutorial is perfect for developers and DBAs who need to perform backups, migrate data to Atlas, or import CSV/JSON files without getting the "command not found" error. 🚀
What you will learn in this video:
Downloading the Tools: We’ll navigate the official MongoDB Download Center to grab the latest Database Tools package for Windows (MSI/Zip), macOS, or Linux. ✅
Installation Walkthrough: * Windows: Running the MSI installer or manually extracting the Zip.
macOS/Linux: Extracting the tarball to a permanent location.
Setting the Environment Path (Crucial!):
Windows: Navigating to "Edit the system environment variables" and adding the /bin path to your System Variables. ⚙️
macOS/Linux: Modifying your .zshrc or .bash_profile using export PATH.
Verifying the Setup: Using a fresh terminal to run mongorestore --version to confirm everything is linked correctly.
Overview of the Binaries: A quick breakdown of what tools like bsondump, mongostat, and mongotop actually do for your database.
Why this matters: Without setting the PATH, you have to type the full file directory every time you want to run a backup
