Setting up Mongolab on heroku for Meteor

I am trying to set up my database on Mongolab/Heroku. According tot he Mongolab documentation, I should type:

% mongo ds012345.mongolab.com:56789/dbname -u db_username -p pw!

However, I am running into two issues:

1) I know where to get the dbname and db_username, but where do I get the pw? Is it the same pw as what I use to log into Heroku?

2) If i type in the command above, I get an error -bash: mongo: command not found

Can someone help?

Thanks!!!!

1) When you create a MongoLab add-on, it adds a MONGOLAB_URI environment variable to your Heroku app. More details here:

2) mongo refers to the mongo shell binary, which you'll need to install locally. It, along with all the other MongoDB binaries, can be downloaded here:
