1. Unzip the BackupMyOrg-x.x.zip archive into the desired directory. Be sure your windows file path is less than 256 characters when extracting our products otherwise there may be failures when unzipping the files.
   

2. In the unzipped /installs folder, install MongoDB:

   • Be sure to keep the checkbox to allow MongoDB to be run as a service.

   • You can uncheck the install option for installing MongoDB Compass (if desired)
     

3. Once MongoDB has been installed, you can go to the config/nodeconfig.json file to change any server settings before running. Here you can change settings for:

   • The port that will be used

   • Using HTTP or HTTPS

   • MongoDB Settings

   • Whether or not login credentials will be used

   • Default admin email

   • Level of server logs
