Windows 10上没有Windows Server 2008的mongodb吗？

Question

I'd like to install MongoDB Community Edition on my computer, which has the 64-bit Windows 10 Home OS, but the system requirements say I need Windows Server 2008 to do it.

I don't think my computer has Windows Server 2008. Is there any way around this? For example, would it work for small-scale databases, or is it totally incompatible without Windows Server 2008?

If I absolutely can't use MongoDB, is there another non -relational database that would work with my system? (It would have to be free.)

Answer 1

I admit that the download site is a bit confusing. But you can simply download the MSI and install it on your Windows 10 machine. A Windows Server version is not required for the community edition.

Disclaimer: I have it on a Pro (Windows 7 and 10, without Windows 2008 or any other server) edition, not on a Home edition, but I'm pretty sure that it will work in the local machine context)
