 Description   

Description

Under Installation tab

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

Add a "Install Tools Only" tab

Goes through install of tools on Mac (via homebrew), Windows PC, and the linux flavors showing the package respoitories and instructions on how to install the tools package only.

 

justification:

As we get more and more users using Atlas and not self-hosted MongoDB, it is more likely they go to the documentation to find out how to install just the tools.  Also have received email from customer asking for clarification/more robust install of tools from ubuntu.

With v4.4 and v5.0 docs updates, the verbiage directing user to external DB Tools docs repo is now stronger and more prominent. Atlas users already have separate Atlas documentation which handles DB Tools installation directly. Closing this ticket.

The server documentation is the default tab that opens to the user when they look at documentation, can we add a "Install Tools Only" tab that links to https://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/installation/?
