I'm having trouble installing on Windows 7 x64, last lines of npm-debug.log are:

Hmm, required version of mongodb (0.9.6-21) is not built for Windows. Tried installing latest mongodb driver but still doesn't work. It seems this project stagnated a bit and libraries have moved on since last update. It's a pity because I couldn't find another NodeJS REST backend for MongoDB.

[outbounder]

Yes you're right. I'm currently having high load on other projects, so I'm not able to dedicate free time for this right now, definitely updating the implementation to use latest packages will resolve the above problem.

@Danita if you can do that - any pull requests are more than welcome :)

It is also suitable to get this impl. out of a forked repo as it differs completely from its original form based on tdegrunt/mongodb-rest. In case you're willing to join forces and collaborate on it, let me know so that we can group up :)

[Danita]

@outbounder Would love to collaborate but I'm not experienced with node.js :worried: I'll try to do some experiments and get back when I have something.
