Synopsis

install_compass (Install-Compass in Windows) is a platform-specific installation script for MongoDB Compass.

If downloaded as a part of the MongoDB Enterprise Server package, the install_compass script installs the standard edition of MongoDB Compass.

If downloaded as part of the MongoDB Community Server package, the install_compass script installs MongoDB Compass Community edition.

Installation

Note

The install_compass script first removes and replaces any previously installed versions of the same MongoDB Compass edition (either MongoDB Compass or MongoDB Compass Community).

Example

If you run the install_compass script installed as part of MongoDB Community Server 3.6, the script removes any installed versions of MongoDB Compass Community and installs a compatible version of Compass Community.

Linux / macOS

On Linux and macOS platforms the install_compass script is a Unix executable script included in the MongoDB Server download. The script is packaged with the download for each platform.

  1. Change to the bin directory under the MongoDB Server download directory:

    cd <installDirectory>/bin
  2. Install MongoDB Compass using the install_compass script:

    ./install_compass

Windows

On Windows platforms the Install-Compass script is a PowerShell script included in both the MongoDB Server .zip archive and .msi installer downloads.

From the Windows Command Prompt:

  1. Change to the bin directory under the MongoDB Server download directory:

    cd <installDirectory>\bin
  2. Install MongoDB Compass using the install_compass script:

    powershell .\Install-Compass.ps1

Alternatively, if using the .msi installer for MongoDB Server for Windows, during installation you are presented with a checkbox indicating whether to install MongoDB Compass with MongoDB server. If checked, the installer automatically executes the install_compass script.
