Can you use Mongoose npm? what is your business requirement for Mongodb npm? — Eshwar Prasad Yaddanapudi, Aug 21 '15 at 16:45
Hi Eshwar- To be honest, I do not know the difference between the two, would you be able to point me to the differences? — Venkat Y, Aug 21 '15 at 22:24

Did you run your command prompt as Admin? this error occurs mostly if you have a firewall that is blocking the cmd line installations. So run your command once as Admin. Question to you -> I generally use Mongoose. Why did you choose Mongodb? It is like the core mongo right? – Eshwar Prasad Yaddanapudi Aug 21 '15 at 17:00
