how to install node-mongodb-native with nodejs in windows

Question

I use nodejs and mongoose to save document to mongodb in windows in development, but I fail to connect to mongodb . My nodeunit test is always being blocked to the line mongoose.connect() .

I found mongoose use node-mongodb-native . My question is：

1. Do I need to do some special instructions to install node-mongodb-native in windows 7 (64-bit)?
2. How to install node-mongodb-native in windows?

Answer 1

1. Mongoose has a dependency on the npm package monogodb .
2. If you look at the npm page for mongodb here, https://npmjs.org/package/mongodb , you'll find the homepage form the package is http://mongodb.github.com/node-mongodb-native/
3. That page is node-mongodb-native.

So, there's nothing you need to do special to get it, as doing

npm install mongoose

is enough to install the native package.
