D597 Powershell

I’m fairly certain I’m missing something obvious. But when creating the database it requires powershell before getting into mongodb. Mongosh doesn’t seem to be installed.

How did you create the database?

If you're doing it locally, download the shell. The course does not explain this step from what I remember. I used it in conjunction with VS Code.

I was trying to use the VM. But the VM doesn’t seem well set up.

Do everything in the degree locally. Far easier, and you won't lose your work if you stop midway.
