Mongod command not found (Windows7)(node.js)

I have been trying to get my mongodb going for about a day now. The problem seems to be that the mongod command is not found. I have the npm package mongoose installed in my node.js build. When i try to start the server with the mongod command the git bash returns that the command is not found.

I have been googleing for an answer and it looks like i need to make mongodb into a command, i'm not sure how to do this. Any advice would help.

I have downloaded the mongodb into my files it's located here C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0 ( Not sure if that matters or not).

Really not sure what to do from here.

Add the mongo's path to the PATH environment variable.

Set the path variable. When you open the bin folder it has a file called mongod.pdb instead of mongod.exe But don't worry. It could be rectified by adding the path to the environment variables. By appending the path of the bin folder (C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin) you are allowing the computer to run the executable files in that particular folder.

shutting down with code:100

When you run mongod.exe if the DB is shutting down with code:100, then you need to make two folders (data and db) to create databases. Use mkdir C:\data\db

You need to use ./ to run mongod.exe file. use ./mongod.exe It'll run successfully.
