To get familiar with Robo3T you should create new databases, new collections, new documents, query documents, delete documents, and create new indices. At this point with Robo3T setup and ready to go, we recommend you create a test database and explore the functionality available in Robo3T. We made a connection in Robo3T to MongoDB and saved the connection.
In this tutorial we went step-by-step how to install Robo3T and integrate it with MongoDB.

Once the robo3t application is running for the first time, a MongoDB Connections configuration window will prompt the user to Create, edit, remove, clone or “reorder connections via drag’n’drop”. NOTE: Ensure that the MongoDB service is running in the background. To lunch the robo3t application, double click the shortcut that was created in the previous step. Navigate to this opt/robomongo/bin then right-click on the robo3t to create a shortcut. NOTE: if conflict in permission and access rights occurred, use the following command: sudo chmod -R 777 /opt in order to have elevated access rights to perform read and write operations.
There is a version of Robo3T for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux systems. In the embedded shell Robo3T provides a great autocomplete feature which is invaluable for developers who jump back and forth between different languages and have a hard time remembering the exact syntax. Robo3T also provides an embedded shell so users can still use the MongoDB shell if necessary. Robo3T allows you to perform all of the primary functionality in a GUI without having to remember the MongoDB shell syntax. Robo3T is one of several GUI tools including Compass and Studio 3T that allow you to visualize your data which can be very hard to do through the MongoDB shell. In this article we’ll show you step-by-step how to install and integrate Robo3T in MongoDB.
