When I try to import my json data file into my local instance of mongodb, I get an error. The code that I am using is shown below.

> mongoimport --db cities --collection zips --type json --file C:/MongoDB/data/zips.json

This is the error that I get.

I just found out that mongoimport is used from terminal/command line(cmd), and NOT within the mongo shell.
