 Description   

This is such a letdown - I don't know why you'd do this. In the section 'Install MongoDB Manually', you create fantastic steps 1, 2 and 3, then when you have elevated everyone's hopes and lifted the expectation level, you bring them crashing down with an indecipherable step 4 which talks about editing a path or creating symbolic links. How is anyone supposed to know how to do that? So I've done steps 1, 2 and 3 but now ned to spend time (hours perhaps, or days) trying to figure out how to do step 4. Very disappointing.
