mongodbmongorestore

I just started using mongodb so my question might be a little basic.
I have a folder with the collections I want to restore(this was a zip file I downloaded from my email).
How do I use mongorestore to restore this db into my local db?

How about reading then manual. Simples form of that command is mongorestore directory/ where mongod is running localhost at port 27017 and that 'directory' have those dump files.

Finally after two days, I found the answer, I get this error because of lack of memory. You need to add more memory if you work with big collection.

Mongodb – How restore a specific database from backup using mongorestore command

To restore a single database you need to provide the path to the dump directory as part of the mongorestore command line.

For example:

# Backup the training database
mongodump --db training

# Restore the training database to a new database called training2
mongorestore --db training2 dump/training

The --db option for mongodump specifies the source database to dump.

The --db option for mongorestore specifies the target database to restore into.
