    Description

      Updated ToDo:

      ToDo:

      Update https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/mongo-shell-connection/ to include a brief procedure for manually downloading and installing the Mongo shell.

      Existing steps will get users as far as downloading, but not installing/running the file. Windows users need to install and run `mongo` using the full path to the file (need to test if .MSI installation adds mongo to path). Other users need to extract and run from extract location, or add binary to /usr/bin.

      ----- Original -----
      This page would benefit from a being a little bit more focused on the totally new user.

      Specifically it would be good to show
      1) High level instructions on downloading and extracting the shell
      2) High level instructions on running it (./bin/mongo "uri") and also changing the PATH env variable so that the new version can be run as >mongo
      3) It would be good to emphasize that the shell version 3.4 is required to use the mongoURI (so we could even demonstrate running mongo --version and if the output is not 3.4 suggest getting newer version).
