2. Upload the installation package to the ECS. For details about how to log in to an ECS, see How Do I Create and Log In to an ECS?.
3. Decompress the installation package on the ECS.

   tar zxvf mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel70-3.4.0.tgz

4. Obtain the client tool from the bin directory of the installation package.

   cd mongodb-linux-x86_64-rhel70-3.4.0/bin

   The common tools are as follows:

   • MongoDB client mongo
   • Data export tool mongoexport
   • Data import tool mongoimport

5. Before using a client tool, assign the execute permission to it.
   • Run the chmod +x mongo command to grant a client permission to connect to a DB instance.
   • Run the chmod +x mongoexport command to grant a client permission to export data.
   • Run the chmod +x mongoimport command to grant a client permission to import data.

6. Connect to a DB instance from the client. For details, see section "Connecting to a DB Instance" in Document Database Service Getting Started
