This project is a 3-tier web application built with .NET and MongoDB. The application consists of a presentation layer, a business logic layer, and a data access layer. MongoDB is used as the database to store and manage application data.

• Prerequisites
• Installation
  • 1. Installing .NET SDK and Runtime
  • 2. Installing MongoDB
  • 3. Setting Up MongoDB
• Running the Application
• Using MongoDB Shell
• License

Before setting up the project, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Ubuntu (or another compatible Linux distribution)
• .NET SDK 8.0
• MongoDB 7.0

To install the .NET SDK and Runtime, execute the following commands in your terminal:

1. Install .NET SDK 8.0:

   sudo apt-get update && \
   sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-8.0

2. Install .NET Runtime 8.0:

   sudo apt-get update && \
   sudo apt-get install -y aspnetcore-runtime-8.0

To install MongoDB, execute the following commands in your terminal:

1. Add MongoDB's GPG key and repository:

   curl -fsSL https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-7.0.asc | \
   sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \
   --dearmor

   echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list

2. Install MongoDB:

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install -y mongodb-org

3. Enable and Start MongoDB service:

   sudo systemctl enable mongod
   sudo systemctl start mongod

1. Install MongoDB Shell:

   Follow the installation guide at MongoDB Shell Installation.

2. Access MongoDB Terminal:

   To interact with your MongoDB instance, open the MongoDB shell using:

   mongosh

3. Manipulate Databases and Collections:

   • Show databases:

     show dbs;

   • Use a specific database:

     use db_name;

   • Show collections in the database:

     show collections;

   • Query the Products collection:

     db.Products.find().pretty();

To run the .NET application:

1. Navigate to the root directory where Program.cs is located.

2. Build the application:

   dotnet build

3. Run the application:

   dotnet run

   The application will start, and you can access it in your web browser.

To manipulate your MongoDB database using MongoDB Shell:

1. Start the shell:

   mongosh

2. Example commands:

   • List all databases:

     show dbs;

   • Switch to a specific database:

     use db_name;

   • Show collections in the current database:

     show collections;

   • Find all documents in a collection:

     db.Products.find().pretty();
