When you try connecting to the default port that Mongo runs on, it gives you a message that says: What if it isn't running on the main port?

To check what port it is actually running on, we use the command: ps aux | grep mongo . This tells us the port that Mongo is running on is: 12121 .

We use this command to connect to a specific Mongo port: mongo --port 12121

Now that we are connected to the Mongo database, we can start searching through the collections. We use the command show dbs to show all of the databases. They are: admin, elfu, local, and test

Now we can assume that we should be looking through elfu. Let's use the command use elfu to switch to that database. The command show collections will show all of the collections in elfu. There are a lot of them but we only need to focus on the one called solution. You can try using that as your data base but it has no collections. What we need to do is to use the command for displaying the contents of a collection. That command would be db.solution.find(). And if you want it to look fancy use the command db.solution.find().pretty() \

The output of this funstion would be:

        "_id" : "You did good! Just run the command between the stars: ** db.loadServerScripts();displaySolution(); **"

Now just run this function inside of the database elfu and you will get the acheivement and a nice picture of a Christmas Tree.
