Setup MongoDB Cloud:

Sign up page https://cloud.mongodb.com, then following the below steps.

1. Create a new Cluster.
2. When the cluster is available, in Security column, config the permission for Database Access:

   • Choose the Connect button then select "Connect Your Application" (If you use MongoDB client Compass choose "Connect Your MongoDB Compass").
   • In String mongodb+srv://:--- replace the content in <> by your user name & password in Database Access config.
