Have you installed mongod tools?
If yes it could be path issue
Update your tools/bin to your path
or
You can cd to your bin dir where mongimport executable is residing and run the mongoimport command

You connect to your cluster then switch to m201 DB
You are running the command at your os prompt which is not correct

ok i ran the command after connecting to the database but getting the error attached

#7

You imported data to your local mongod.
You should connect to your local instance but looks like you connected to class cluster
Please check and try again

#8

How do i connect to the local instance? i am only familiar with the class cluster

#9

Please check your mongoimport command
Connect string to connect to your local instance is there in it
or
Just issue mongo
