MongoDB Compass is the official GUI for MongoDB. With it you can perform CRUD operations and much more. Compass comes in a variety of editions. We will be using the 'community edition'. A comparison of the editions, currently four of them, can be found at: Capabilities of Compass Editions.
As with MongoDB itself, the best installation instructions are in the MongodDB documentation: Download and Install Compass. Do be sure to select the 'community edition' as shown below.
