To restore a MongoDB database from a dump file, you need to have the command line tools provided by MongoDB, including the “mongorestore” command. Below are the steps to restore it:
1. Open a command line terminal.
1. Navigate to the directory which contains your MongoDB dump file. You can use `cd` command to change the directory.
For example, \`\`\` cd /path/to/your/dump/directory \`\`\`1. Run the `mongorestore` command.
If your MongoDB server is running on the default host and port (localhost:27017), you can use the simple command: \`\`\`bash mongorestore \`\`\` Or, you can specify the host and port explicitly, for example: \`\`\`bash mongorestore —host localhost —port 27017 \`\`\` If your dump includes multiple databases, you need to have the necessary permissions to restore. To restore a specific database from a folder within the dump directory, use the `—db` option, or just if the dump folder has the database name you can just include the db folder path, e.g. \`\`\`bash mongorestore —db yourDatabaseName /path/to/your/dump/directory/yourDatabaseName \`\`\` Or restore a single collection: \`\`\`bash mongorestore —collection yourCollectionName —db yourDatabaseName dump/yourDatabaseName/yourCollectionName.bson \`\`\`After running the `mongorestore` command, your MongoDB database should be successfully restored from the dump file.
Note: Please make sure MongoDB server is running before trying to restore.
