Installation of the required software and how to restore the code repository for the book is explained in Chapter 2, Setting Up MongoDB 4.x. To run the code examples in this chapter, open a terminal window (Command Prompt) and enter these commands:
cd /path/to/repo
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it learn-mongo-server-1 /bin/bash
When you are finished working with the examples covered in this chapter, return to the terminal window (Command Prompt) and stop...
