Set up software

First install RoboMongo on your machine and make sure that you have a Mongo server to connect to. Either by setting up a local one on your machine or by having an IP to a machine that has a server running.

Connect to a server.

  • Start RoboMongo and locate the "MongoDB Connections" window. The window should pop up as you start the program, otherwise you'll find it in the upper left corner
  • Click "Create". Add an appropriate name for the server to go under in RoboMongo. You can leave the address as it is if you're creating a connection to a local server on your computer. Add the IP-address to the computer you're creating the connection to if you're creating a connection to another computer. Click save.
  • Select the Server you want to connect to and click connect. Remember that the server must be running on the machine you're connecting to ("mongod --dbpath ." must be initiated) see the set up Mongo guide.
