• You can manipulate the data using MongoDB Compass manually
• You can manipulate using external application using other languages such as Django, JavaScript, Python and etc.

Note: In this tutorial we will be using Python Only

PyMongo

To manipulate MongoDB databses using Python there is a package called PyMongo, that you can install using the following command:

• !pip install pymongo --upgrade --quiet on jupyter notebook
• conda install pymongo on conda command shell

If you want to install PyMongo for a specific database with certain dependencies then there are some more ways to install PyMomgo with dependencies. You will get the ways to install pymongo with dependencies here
