Could not connect to MongoDB : MEAN : Windows 10

Currently, I am trying to install MEAN on my windows 10 through cli (cmd).

I think i have completed all the installation part of MEAN and used npm to install all the packages as they were mentioned in tutorial and when I enter gulp (to run) it gives me this error :-

C:\...\nishant>gulp
Invoking gulp - development

**Could not connect to MongoDB. Please ensure mongod is running and restart MEAN app.**
[15:46:27] [nodemon] clean exit - waiting for changes before restart

I tried to search for the answer but they were available for linux or mac but not for windows.

Looks like MongoDb is not running as a service. If memory serves, you may have to install the service manually. First check if it was installed: Start -> Run -> enter services.msc and look for it in the services list. If it's there, make sure it's running. If not, check out https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/ for steps on service installation.
