Welcome,
This is the Code Institute student template for using Mongo. We have preinstalled all of the tools you need to get started. It's perfectly ok to use this template as the basis for your project submissions.
You can safely delete this README.md file, or change it for your own project. Please do read it at least once, though! It contains some important information about this template and the extensions we use. Some of this information has been updated since the video content was created. The last update to this file was: May 23rd, 2024
- Connect to Mongo CLI on a IDE
- navigate to your MongoDB Clusters Sandbox
- click "Connect" button
- select "Connect with the MongoDB shell"
- select "I have the mongo shell installed"
- choose mongosh (2.0 or later) for : "Select your mongo shell version"
- choose option: "Run your connection string in your command line"
- in the terminal, paste the copied code
mongo "mongodb+srv://<CLUSTER-NAME>.mongodb.net/<DBname>" --apiVersion 1 --username <USERNAME>- replace all
<angle-bracket>keys with your own data
- replace all
- enter password (will not echo **** on screen)
cls
show collections
As we need to run a backend Python file, we should use the command python3 app.py, if your Python file is named app.py of course.
A button should appear to click: Open Preview or Open Browser.
In most cloudbased IDEs you have superuser security privileges by default. Therefore you do not need to use the sudo (superuser do) command in the bash terminal in any of the lessons.
- Log in to your Heroku account and go to Account Settings in the menu under your avatar.
- Scroll down to the API Key and click Reveal
- Copy the key
- In your IDE, from the terminal, run
heroku_config - Paste in your API key when asked
You can now use the heroku CLI program - try running heroku apps to confirm it works. This API key is unique and private to you so do not share it. If you accidentally make it public then you can create a new one with Regenerate API Key.
Happy coding!
