It doesn't actually matters where you install mongodb. You just need to know the host where you installed mongodb and port on which it running. I suppose you are running you app and installed mongo on the local computer. In this case host would be localhost and by default mongo accepts connections on port 27017.

So now, you have all needed information and you need to provide it to lift like this:

MongoDB.defineDb(
    MainDb, 
    new Mongo(new ServerAddress("localhost", 27017)), 
    "test")

It's also not necessarily needed to define new DB identifier (MainDb in your case), you can always you DefaultMongoIdentifier unless you are accessing several DB instances.

In this page you can find more information about mongodb configuration:
