Open existing database files

Hi Elavarasan,

In case you have extracted the MongoDB at different location, then go to that path by using command cd FOLDER/DIR and now run the above given process.

MongoDB requires a data folder to store its files. The default location for the MongoDB data directory is c:\data\db. So you need to create this folder using the Command Prompt.

Execute the following command sequence.
