How to Use MongoDB:

1. Installation:
   MongoDB can be installed from the official website or using package managers like Homebrew for macOS or Chocolatey for Windows.

2. Start MongoDB:
   After installation, start the MongoDB service. This can usually be done by running a command like mongod in your terminal or using a service manager.

3. Connect to MongoDB:
   To connect to MongoDB from your application, ensure that the MongoDB server is running, and you can use the mongodb://localhost:27017/your_database_name URI to connect. Replace your_database_name with the name of your database.

4. Perform Operations:
   You can now perform various operations such as inserting, updating, deleting, and querying documents in your MongoDB database using the appropriate methods provided by the MongoDB driver for your chosen programming language.

5. Close Connection:
   It's essential to close the MongoDB connection properly when you're done with your operations. This helps to release resources and avoid memory leaks.
