using mongodump to extract meteor data
<p>I'll preface this by saying I have very little coding knowledge other than a few mongo tutorials so this may be a very simple answer, I'm trying to extract the data from my meteor project into a text file that can be edited.</p>

<p>Previously I've just had meteor (and Node.js) installed but I've installed MongoDB because without it my cmd window would tell me "'mongodump' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"</p>

<p>I then followed the instructions <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16816860/meteor-how-can-i-backup-my-mongo-database">here</a> and confirmed that my host is at 127.0.0.1 with a port of 3001. At this point I also began running my meteor project and opened a new shell. </p>

<p>The project is running at D:/projectName and when I execute "mongodump -h 127.0.0.1 --port 3001 -d meteor" from there it still says "'mongodump' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"</p>

<p>But if I execute the same line from the mongodump.exe directory (C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin) then it says "Failed: error dumping metadata: error creating directory for metadata file dump\meteor: mkdir dump: Access is denied"</p>
