Install [mongodb](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo) prebuilt binaries using npm. This module helps you easily install the `mongodb` without having to compile anything.

MongoDB is an open-source, document database designed for ease of development and scaling.

## Installation

Download and install the latest build of mongodb for your OS and add it to your projects `package.json` as a `dependency`:

```
npm install mongodb-prebuilt
```

`--global` to make MongoDB binaries accessible without additional configurations.

```
npm install -g mongodb-prebuilt
```

If that command fails with an `EACCESS` error you may have to run it again with `sudo`:

```
sudo npm install -g mongodb-prebuilt
```

Now you can just run `mongod` to run mongodb:

```
mongod
```
