What you need for this book

The version of MongoDB used to try out the recipes is 3.0.2. The recipes are good for version 2.6.x as well. In case of some special feature specific to version 2.6.x, it would be explicitly mentioned in the recipe. Unless explicitly mentioned, all commands should be executed on Ubuntu Linux.

The samples where Java programming was involved were tested and run on Java Version 1.7, and Python code was run using Python v2.7 (compatible with Python 3). For MongoDB drivers, you can choose to use the latest available version.

These are pretty common types of software, and their minimum versions are used across different recipes. All the recipes in this book will mention the required software to complete it and their respective versions. Some recipes need to be tested on a Windows system, while some on Linux.
