Installing the Database Tools
The MongoDB Database Tools are a suite of command-line utilities for working with MongoDB.
You can use the MongoDB Database Tools to migrate from a self-hosted deployment to MongoDB Atlas. MongoDB Atlas is the fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud.

version of 100.0.0. Previously, these tools were released
alongside the MongoDB Server and used matching versioning.
