Setting up MongoDB¶
This application uses a MongoDB backend to store all the file annotation information. In order to use this module, you must have MongoDB installed and running on a port that is tied to the current session (a detailed description of the session can be found in the API section). To install MongoDB, visit their website, and follow the instructions.
After installing MongoDB, start the daemon using:
$ mongod
If this fails to start, it’s usually because the data directory used by mongo currently does not exist. Typically, this can be fixed by the following:
$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db
$ sudo chown $USER:$USER -R /data/db
If it still fails to start, you’re on your own (a.k.a. hit up stack overflow) ...
