 Description   

"2. Download MongoDB for Windows.

Download the latest production release of MongoDB from the MongoDB downloads page. Ensure you download the correct version of MongoDB for your Windows system. The 64-bit versions of MongoDB do not work with 32-bit Windows.

Install MongoDB Community Edition¶

1. Interactive Installation"

The number system is confusing. Why not number the sequential steps. Instead you start over at #1? Why? That's bizarre. . Clicking the link under 2. above takes one to the Enterprise Installation. Why? I want the Community Edition. And I do not know if I have successfully downloaded the community version.

Add an explanation that you expect one to first download the application first and then "install" it.

Why can't these steps offer clear and logical eplanations and follow a logical path. Bizarre.
