For command line options invoke:

$ ./mongod --help

To run a single server database:

You can install compass using the install_compass script packaged with MongoDB:

$ ./install_compass

This will download the appropriate MongoDB Compass package for your platform and install it.

Client drivers for most programming languages are available at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/applications/drivers/. Use the shell (mongo) for administrative tasks.

See https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/wiki/Submit-Bug-Reports.

Packages are created dynamically by the buildscripts/packager.py script. This will generate RPM and Debian packages.
