Get Started with MongoDB Atlas
On this page
MongoDB CLI provides a command-line interface for managing your MongoDB Atlas projects and clusters. This tutorial demonstrates how to:
Create one cluster in your Atlas project
Load sample data into your Atlas cluster
Add your IP address to your project's IP access list
Create a MongoDB user for your Atlas cluster
Connect to your new cluster using the MongoDB Shell,
mongosh
.
The reference pages for the commands mentioned in this tutorial are available in the MongoDB CLI Commands.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
Ensure that your environment is compatible
Create an Atlas organization
Configure an Atlas Cluster
Use the mongocli-atlas-quickstart
command to create an M0
cluster in Atlas. M0
clusters have some operational limitations.
You can run this command in the following ways:
Default Settings Mode - the command creates a sample shared cluster with the default settings.
Interactive mode - the command prompts you for the cluster settings and provides default values.
Noninteractive mode - you run the command with the options.
Click the tab to see the command for your preferred mode.
Summary
Congratulations! You have successfully created a cluster to host your
data. You can connect to your cluster using the connection
string for
mongosh
or your application or view your cluster by logging
in to the UI.
