00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:00,620
All right, guys.

2
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:02,050
So this should be a really quick video.

3
00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:05,240
I just want to show you how to download and use Compass.

4
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,090
So Compass is actually a desktop application.

5
00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:14,720
It's cross-platform, so it doesn't matter what OS you use, but you can get it at mongodb.com slash

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,260
products, slash compass and just download and install it.

7
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:20,750
I already have it installed, so I'm just going to open it up.

8
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:23,360
So when you open you'll see a screen like this.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,230
And basically we want to put our connection string in here right now.

10
00:00:27,230 --> 00:00:33,920
It's this is if we had MongoDB installed locally, but we want to go back to Atlas and go to connect.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,550
So let's see we want to go to overview Connect now.

12
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:43,640
This time we're going to choose Connect using Compass and then we're going to copy that connection string.

13
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:45,650
We're going to paste.

14
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:52,150
That in here and then just change the password to whatever your password is.

15
00:00:52,820 --> 00:01:00,530
And then we also want to change test to pro shop or whatever you named your your database click connect.

16
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:06,050
Okay, So now we're connected and you're going to see this admin in local database by default, you

17
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:11,210
can just ignore those and just go to pro shop and you should see the products collection if you followed

18
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:15,160
along and created that collection from within Atlas.

19
00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:21,560
So from here, obviously we don't have any data, but we could add data from here and of course you

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,930
can edit and delete and so on.

21
00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:29,780
So as we move through the course, we'll just keep this open so that if we need it, we can access our

22
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:30,860
data at any point.

23
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:32,480
So I'm just going to minimize it.

24
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:33,140
All right.

25
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:33,680
So that's it.

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,060
Now that we have everything set up, we can close out of this.

27
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:43,970
We can even close out of Atlas because in the next video, we're going to connect to our database using

28
00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:45,470
a tool called Mongoose.
