To install MongoDB on Windows 7 32-bit, follow these steps:

  1. Download MongoDB:
    Go to the MongoDB download page: https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community. Scroll down to the "Community Server" section and select "Windows 32-bit" from the dropdown. Click the "Download" button to download the MongoDB installer for Windows 32-bit.

  2. Run the Installer:
    Locate the downloaded MongoDB installer (e.g., mongodb-win32-i386-version.msi) and double-click on it to start the installation process.

  3. Choose Setup Type:
    The installer will show you the setup type options. Select "Complete" to install the MongoDB server, client tools, and the MongoDB Compass GUI.

  4. Select Installation Folder:
    Choose the folder where you want to install MongoDB. By default, it will be installed in C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\version.

  5. Install MongoDB as a Service:
    You can choose to install MongoDB as a Windows Service, which will start the MongoDB server automatically on system startup. If you want MongoDB to run as a service, keep the checkbox "Install MongoDB as a Service" checked.

  6. Complete the Installation:
    Click "Next" to begin the installation. Once the installation is complete, click "Finish."

  7. Add MongoDB Binaries to PATH:
    To run MongoDB commands from the command prompt, you need to add the MongoDB binaries folder to the system's PATH environment variable. By default, MongoDB is installed in C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\version\bin.

    To add MongoDB to the PATH:

    • Open the Control Panel, and go to System and Security -> System.
    • Click on "Advanced system settings" on the left.
    • In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
    • In the Environment Variables window, find the "Path" variable under System variables and click "Edit."
    • Add the path to the MongoDB binaries folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\version\bin) at the end of the "Variable value" field. Separate multiple paths with a semicolon.
    • Click "OK" to save the changes.

  8. Start MongoDB:
    To start MongoDB, open a Command Prompt window, and type the following command:

    mongod

    If you installed MongoDB as a service, it will start automatically with the system. If not, you need to start the MongoDB server manually using the mongod command.

  9. Verify MongoDB Installation:
    Open another Command Prompt window, and type the following command to start the MongoDB shell:

    mongo

    If everything is set up correctly, you should see the MongoDB shell prompt, indicating that you can now interact with the MongoDB server.

That's it! You have successfully installed MongoDB on Windows 7 32-bit. You can now use MongoDB for your applications and start building databases.
