如何正确安装mongodb java驱动？

Question

I want to create an application using MongoDB and java. But I can't find the right files or the right documentation as to explain how to install the MongoDB java driver.

A. I have:

1. Searched Google and couldn't find a proper answer
2. Taken a look at the MongoDB documentation (But the documentation wasn't clear enough)

B. I have also read this question as to how you can install the MongoDB java driver but the answers there weren't clear.

So, is there any way (literally any way) to properly install the MongoDB java driver?

Answer 1

Well, there is no installation for the driver, you just have to add it to your dependencies in whatever tool you are using (maven, gradle, etc.) or add it to your classpath, you can find examples of how to add the dependecy for multiple tools here

Answer 2

• If your project is using Maven, then use the latest dependency from Maven central repository

• If you are using Gradle then use:

  dependencies {
      compile 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:4.0.3'
  }

• Finally, here is a quick start guide and more to get your started with using the actual driver.
