All right, guys.
So this should be a really quick video.
I just want to show you how to download and use Compass.
So Compass is actually a desktop application.
It's cross-platform, so it doesn't matter what OS you use, but you can get it at mongodb.com slash
products, slash compass and just download and install it.
I already have it installed, so I'm just going to open it up.
So when you open you'll see a screen like this.
And basically we want to put our connection string in here right now.
It's this is if we had MongoDB installed locally, but we want to go back to Atlas and go to connect.
So let's see we want to go to overview Connect now.
This time we're going to choose Connect using Compass and then we're going to copy that connection string.
We're going to paste.
That in here and then just change the password to whatever your password is.
And then we also want to change test to pro shop or whatever you named your your database click connect.
Okay, So now we're connected and you're going to see this admin in local database by default, you
can just ignore those and just go to pro shop and you should see the products collection if you followed
along and created that collection from within Atlas.
So from here, obviously we don't have any data, but we could add data from here and of course you
can edit and delete and so on.
So as we move through the course, we'll just keep this open so that if we need it, we can access our
data at any point.
So I'm just going to minimize it.
All right.
So that's it.
Now that we have everything set up, we can close out of this.
We can even close out of Atlas because in the next video, we're going to connect to our database using
a tool called Mongoose.
