title: Install and Set Up Mongoose
challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301540
dashedName: install-and-set-up-mongoose
---
# --description--
In this challenge, you will import the required projects, and connect to your Atlas database.
# --instructions--
Add `mongodb` and `mongoose` to the projects `package.json`. Then, require mongoose as `mongoose` in `myApp.js`. Store your MongoDB Atlas database URI in a private `.env` file as `MONGO_URI`. Surround the the URI with single or double quotes, and make sure no space exists between both the variable and the `=`, and the value and `=`. Connect to the database using the following syntax:
```js
mongoose.connect(<Your URI>, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
```
# --hints--
"mongodb" dependency should be in package.json
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/file/package.json').then(
(data) => {
var packJson = JSON.parse(data);
assert.property(packJson.dependencies, 'mongodb');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
"mongoose" dependency should be in package.json
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/file/package.json').then(
(data) => {
var packJson = JSON.parse(data);
assert.property(packJson.dependencies, 'mongoose');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```
"mongoose" should be connected to a database
```js
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/is-mongoose-ok').then(
(data) => {
assert.isTrue(data.isMongooseOk, 'mongoose is not connected');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
```

/**
Backend challenges don't need solutions,
because they would need to be tested against a full working project.
