Pre-built Binaries

Download the appropriate version for your platform from mongocli releases. Once downloaded, the binary can be run from anywhere. You don't need to install it into a global location. This works well for shared hosts and other systems where you don't have a privileged account.

Ideally, you should place this binary somewhere in your PATH for easy use. /usr/local/bin is the most probable location.
