Make sure you have added the MongoDB's bin folder path in environment variables.

## Open environment variables:

Go to Control Panel >> System and Security >> System >> Advanced System Settings >> Advanced >> Environment variables.

## Add MongoDB's bin folder path to path variable in Environment variables

Usually MongoDB's bin folder path in windows would be `C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin`. Add this path to `path` variable in `Environment variables`.
