How do I drop a mongodb database?

Mongodb noob questions!

I want to do something similar to rake db:drop but in mongodb, to clear out the contents of my document.

So far I've found the command db.dropDatabase() but is it right that I have to enter it from the mongodb interactive shell? (Any tips on how to enter the shell would be appreciated, I tried following the instructions over at the Mongodb site but I couldn't get it up and running).

Is there a simpler way to do this from the command line?

Edit: I tried typing mongo and the shell popped up lol.

There is a ton of information on the shell here: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Overview+-+The+MongoDB+Interactive+Shell

But to Drop a mongodb its .Drop()
