-== Starting MongoDB ==
-MongoDB can be started in several ways.
-=== First time ===
-Once logged in, to start MongoDB run either the following command:
- runMongo
-This runs with a default password, that should be changed when you first login (see below).
-=== With Password ===
-Once you have changed your password:
- runMongo yourPassword
-=== With other settings ===
-''runMongo'' is a script file setup for your convenience that run '''mongo''' and logs you into your own database.
-If you need to change any of the mongo options you will need to run '''mongo''' directly:
- mongo dbYourStudentNumber --port 27017 -u yourStudentNumber  -p yourMongoPassword -whatever options required
-== Changing Password ==
-Once you have logged into MongoDB successfully you can change the default password:
- db.updateUser("myStudentNumber",
- {
-     pwd: "myNewPassword",
-  }
- );
-Replacing myStudentNumber with your University student number and myNewPasswor with your new password.
-Note, the function names in MongoDB are <b>case sensitive</b>.
