Getting started
Install Oxys DB Studio, connect to a MongoDB server and run your first query.
Oxys DB Studio is a desktop application for working with MongoDB databases: browse databases and collections, read and edit documents, build queries and aggregation pipelines, and run scripts.
This section takes you from a fresh install to your first query in a few minutes. The examples use a
small fictional database, acme_store, with three collections: products, customers and
orders.
