This repository is a monorepo for all the various components in the MongoDB Shell across all environments (REPL, Browser, Compass, etc).
For our official documentation, please visit MongoDB Docs page.
MongoDB Shell works with MongoDB servers >= 4.0.
You can get the release tarball from our Downloads Page. We currently maintain MongoDB Shell on three different platforms - Windows (zip), MacOS (zip) and Linux (tgz, deb and rpm). Once downloaded, you will have to extract the binary and add it to your PATH variable. For detailed instructions for each of our supported platforms, please visit installation documentation.

For more information on usage: https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell.- Node.js v14.x
- Python 3.x
- The test suite uses mlaunch
for managing running mongod, you can install that manually as well via
pip3 install mtools[mlaunch]if the automatic installation causes any trouble.
- The test suite uses mlaunch
for managing running mongod, you can install that manually as well via
npm install -g lerna
npm install -g typescript
npm run bootstrapRun all tests (this may take some time):
npm testRun tests from a specific package:
lerna run test --scope @mongosh/cli-replRun tests with all output from packages:
lerna run test --streamTo test against a specific version, the MONGOSH_SERVER_TEST_VERSION
environment variable can be set to a semver string specifying a server version.
Via npm:
npm run startAlternatively you can also run start inside the cli-repl package, if you're
sure everything else is compiled:
cd packages/cli-repl && npm run startCompile all Typescript:
npm run compile-tsCompile just the CLI:
npm run compile-cliCompile the standalone executable (this may take some time):
npm run compile-execCompile a specific package, e.g. the .deb for Debian:
npm run compile-exec
npm run evergreen-release package -- --build-variant=debian-x64Refer to the build package documentation.
