For Windows users, to be able to use "mongo", "mongod" commands. Install Scoop

So, if you want to be able to run "mongo", "mongod" commands easily like Huston is, then I would recommend installing Scoop ( Homebrew alternative for windows ). http://scoop.sh/ Process is quite simple, just open your CMD, type "powershell", then run install command from scoop.sh ( " iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh') " ) , and after that " scoop install mongodb " , after that you will be able to use those commands easily, I am glad I searched for the alternative ! Hope it helps someone too !

Thanks for the tip! This has made the wasted hour of trying to install Mongo manually almost worth it.
