A very popular NoSQL database that is being used more and more in the NoSQL community is MongoDB. MongoDB is a document-oriented database system that uses JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas. For more information on MongoDB, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MongoDB. MongoDB can be found at http://www.mongodb.org/ and the installation instructions for Windows can be found at http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows. MongoDB is written in C++, is open source, uses the Apache open source license that most Apache Foundation products run under, and is cross-platform.
To install MongoDB on Windows, download the installation file, which will install it today at C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard. To start the installation, open a command prompt, change the directory to C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin, create the database directory using md \data\db, and start the database via mongod.exe.
