[FIXED] 'mongoimport' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Issue

I'm running Windows 10 and calling !mongoimport -d osm -c bham --file bham.json using Python 3.85 in Jupyter Notebook, from a conda environment.

I get 'mongoimport' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. and the file is not imported.

I have added the MongoDB tools bin folder and the server bin folder to PATH:

I have also tried:

• Copying mongoimport.exe to the server bin folder.
• Putting .\ before mongoimport in the command.
• Calling the file directly !<full file path>.
• Removing the \ after bin in PATH.

This is the only MongoDB installation I have, and I can see that the database service is running, as is Compass.

It worked on this computer before I did a clean install.

Thanks!

Solution

Turns out restarting my computer did the trick. Restarting the kernel after setting the PATH variable was not it. So, it might just have been restarting the command prompt from which Jupyter Notebook was launched after setting the PATH variable that did it.
