pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 my-vir-env-py-mon

2. Activate and go inside your Virtual Environment

source my-vir-env-py-mon/bin/activate
cd my-vir-env-py-mon

3. Clone this project

git clone https://github.com/arturoaviles/python-mongodb
cd python-mongodb

4. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Make a copy of the env.sample to .env

cp env.sample .env

6. Configure the .env with your MongoDB Credentials

DATABASE=Your_DB_Name
