I was following an exercise and wanted to install MongoDB Compas (1.19.6(Stable)). I successfully downloaded he .dmg file and extracted the file using 7-zip but when I go into the folder, I can't find a exe or instructions on how to run/install compass. Please help.

I searched the MongoDB site and found the doc but it says nothing about a .dmg file. Am I doing something wrong?

    DMG? Is that not MacOS? Please go to the download page and make sure you get the correct installer – Neil Lunn Sep 01 '19 at 00:41

    Yep, just checked the downloads page and the default on the dropdown for OS selection is OS X. Click on the dropdown and select Windows 64 bit (7+) and download that instead. It will have an `.msi` extension. – Neil Lunn Sep 01 '19 at 00:45

    The default download platform should be selected based on your detected O/S, but the `.dmg` download is definitely for macOS. The Windows download options for Compass include `.exe`, `.zip`, and `.msi`. – Stennie Sep 01 '19 at 22:34
